The Reckturm (Stretcher Tower) marks the northwest corner of the fortifications. From 1830 onwards, the cemetery was located here, so this part of the city remained undeveloped, and the tower was preserved at its original height. The name Reckturm (Stretcher Tower) dates back to its use as a dungeon and place of "painful interrogation" in earlier times, when delinquents were imprisoned here and stretched, stretched, and tormented to force them to confess. In 1660, a female arsonist was executed by the Freimann (Freeman) in the Reckturm.

The history of Falkenstein Castle is as old as the settlement of the Weinviertel itself. The castle was built under Emperor Henry III in the middle of the 11th century. As a border fortress to the north, it once protected the country from attacks from Bohemia and Hungary. The first lords of Falkenstein were vassals of the Babenbergs. Falkenstein Castle was a sovereign fief and pledge for centuries until it became private property in 1571. In 1645, the castle was conquered by the Swedes, but not destroyed. It did not begin to decay until the end of the 17th century. Source: www.burgruine-falkenstein.at/geschichte/
