It is worth visiting the Merkenstein castle ruins, as the path there leads along narrow, enchanted forest paths that enhance the feeling of adventure. As you move through the dense greenery, you immerse yourself in the history that can be felt in the old, crumbling walls. The atmosphere created by the ruins and their mystical location is particularly fascinating - an unforgettable experience for all who embark on the adventure.

The moated castle is very well known, and the castle park behind it is no less worth seeing. The race track used to be at the end of the castle park opposite the castle, but it burned down at the beginning of the 20th century and was never rebuilt. From the train station in front of the castle, visitors walked through the castle park to the race track.

In the moated castle there are, in addition to the municipal offices, 2 bars and a theatre

Absolutely impressive ruins. However, if you want to take a dog that is afraid of noise, you should probably find out in advance when the adjacent shooting range is open. Unfortunately, the walk to the ruins and back was torture for us.

In 1930 extensive renovations took place. From 1934 to 1938 the former High and German Master Archduke Eugen lived here. Immediately after the annexation of Austria to the German Reich, the order was expropriated. In 1945 the order got its castle back, but the commander was moved to Vienna. After the retirement home run by German nuns was closed in 1988, the castle stood empty for 12 years and was neglected. In 1999 it was extensively restored. Since then it has served as the convent house of the Teutonic Order, Province of Austria. It is also the seat of the Austrian military bishop. Some of the rooms are available as a guest house for holding seminars.
