Lost place... dilapidated castle in a huge area.

The knights Dörr von Wildungsmauer owned the castle from the 12th century until 1620. Altenburg was first mentioned in documents in 1297, but the Romanesque nave of the church and the charnel house date from the beginning of the 13th century. In the Middle Ages, the building served to secure the Hungarian Gate. After several changes of ownership, the castle came into the possession of the Barons von Ludwigstorff around 1709, who had it expanded by Carlo Antonio Carlone. After the Second World War, Ernst Zwilling's Africa Museum was temporarily housed in the castle. The castle is now privately owned and therefore not accessible.

Petronell Castle was first built in the 11th century. The four-winged castle complex that still exists today was planned by Dominio Carlone (around 1615 - 1679) on behalf of the Abensperg-Traun family. The castle is decorated with frescoes by Caprovo Tencalla. The castle was owned by the Abensperg and Traun families for 17 generations and was sold to a private investor in 2006 and can therefore only be viewed from the outside.
