Privately owned and therefore unfortunately can only be viewed from the outside. Story: The place was first mentioned around 1074 by the Hochfrei Adalbert von Kilb. In the 12th century, the rule came to Rudolf von Perg. Friedrich von Perg was inherited by the Babenberg Duke Leopold V in 1191. In the 13th century, a knightly family again named itself after Kilb. In 1410 a knight from “Sebeck” was named as the owner. In 1460, Jörg von Pottendorf sold his castle in Kilb to Bernhard von Tiernstein, who built an extensive new building and, ten years later, bequeathed it to the brothers Rüdiger and Jörg von Starhemberg, but also promised the defense construction to his grandson Georg von Velderndorf. The latter probably received it, because in 1521 Hans Velderndorfer sold the fortress to Göttweig Abbey. The castle was now called Grünbühel. He bought it back in 1534, but finally sold it to Jakob Gienger in 1549. Jacob's son Nikolaus had the old fortified building converted into a more comfortable Renaissance castle. As a result, the owners usually changed quite quickly. Around the middle of the 17th century, the Barons Ruess von Ruessenstein came into possession of the castle. Only the barons and later Counts of Wickenburg owned Grünbühel for a longer period from 1720 onwards. In 1830, Karl Theodor Graf Wickenburg had major construction work carried out, which gave the building its current appearance. In 1845 the castle came into rapidly changing bourgeois ownership. From 1969 to 2004 it belonged to the Friedel-Klarenberg family. Since then, Dr. Georg Graf Pachta-Reyhofen, lord of the castle at Grünbühel.

We stayed overnight in the castle on our long-distance hike from Hungary to Switzerland. We were impressed by the stylish room (do you say room in a castle?) and the good dinner. We can highly recommend this castle.

Sitzenthal Castle is a 16th-century castle building that was rebuilt and modernized by Count Ledochowska in the 19th century. On the upper floor, the castle has a colonnaded hall and rooms with ridge vaults, historical furniture and valuable paintings. Currently privately owned and therefore not accessible. Since then, the castle has been a fief of Melk Abbey and belonged to Count Ludwig Starhemberg, who was outlawed in 1619. In the 20th century, Sitzenthal came to the Barons Hammerstein-Equord. The poet and politician Hans Hammerstein-Equord (d. 1947), who was born here in the castle, was Austrian Federal Minister of Justice in 1936 and a prisoner in the Mauthausen concentration camp after 1938.

Plankenstein Castle was lovingly restored over decades of work by Peter Trimbacher since 1975 and by its new owner Erich Podstatny since 2010. The castle has a tavern and a hotel with exceptional rooms! Ask for a tower room! You will be amazed! My room was rather simple, but had direct access to the large sun terrace with a mountain panorama. I enjoyed it: the sun, the view, the sunset and at night the stars and the Milky Way. However, the castle can not only be visited by hotel guests. Tours are at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. It is noticeable that a lot of ceramic works of art and terracotta figures by the artist Melanie Hell can be seen in the castle. Please be sure to visit the playground and the large tournament area behind the castle. All of this is freely accessible. It is also noteworthy that there are two steeply sloping cliffs behind the castle. The very first castle was built on the rock that is closer to the castle. It was actually just a fortified house. However, it did not last long because there was a rockfall. Therefore, the current castle was moved further forward. Behind the castle there is an old steel bridge with riveted trusses. This bridge was dismantled in Melk and rebuilt by Mr. Podstatny between the tournament square and the former castle rock.

Stage destination of my bike tour, with overnight stay at the castle. Everything was excellent. Rooms, tavern with good food and of course the castle itself is worth seeing, including the extensive grounds (be sure to walk in the direction of the tournament). https://www.burgplankenstein.at/

The bike path goes right past the castle or even through the grounds, the parks next to it invite you to take a break. A beautiful place! "Most of the castle dates from the 16th century, the oldest part probably even from the 11th century. The castle was once a moated castle and has a small courtyard with Tuscan colonnades, a round bay tower with coat of arms cartouches from the Middle Ages and a marble portal with the year 1674."

You should definitely stop here during a tour. Unfortunately it was very foggy for me and the tavern was also closed due to Covid19. Renovation work is currently being carried out on the castle. There is a nice little climb behind the castle. Also behind the castle there are often parties, there is also a stage, after Corona there will hopefully be something going on here again soon. Here is a link to the event calendar: https://www.burgplankenstein.at/veranstaltungen

Hotel, restaurant, event location and all in one castle. On top of that, there is a fantastic view from here. Who can say that they once stayed in a castle? Here is the opportunity to do so. The mountain bike route leads through the middle of the castle courtyard and a crisp trail begins right behind it. Heart, what do you want more?

To the south of the market, the crest (495 m) of a wooded mountain forms a small rock plateau that supported the stronghold, the lower parts of the complex are on the side of the mountain facing away from the market. The castle path winds around the western slope of the castle hill and climbs from the southeast to a round, approximately 8 m high gate tower. This has a short wall approach to the outside. The tower did not initially function as a gate tower; the castle entrance was further north. Remnants of the defensive wall pull up from the tower through the wooded slope to Berchfrit. From the "gate tower" the further access leads only slightly uphill northwards. The name Zwinger is not fully justified because the castle wall runs on the mountain side, but there is no boundary wall on the valley side. Further to the north, the missing wall is replaced by lining walls that lead to a square bastion in front of the castle entrance. The inner boundary wall of the "Zwinger" is partially upright, two shell towers are inserted into it, in the southeast with a horseshoe-shaped, in the northeast with a square plan.
