城跡保存委員会の尽力と寛大な寄付により、城跡は崩壊から救われました。1989年には、ラベンシュタイン城跡の救済委員会が結成され、それ以来、この文化遺産の保存と保護に取り組んでいます。

Unfortunately, it's privately owned and not open to the public. A few years ago, I wrote a blacksmithing report on the impressive window grilles and had access to the entire site for a day. It's a shame that some of the castles aren't accessible.

Kälberhart Castle was first documented in 1389 and belonged to Hertel Kälberharter at the time. According to legend, he was ennobled by Friedrich von Walser for his charitable care of the poor and sick and was allowed to use a calf's head in his coat of arms. This is said to have contributed to the name of the nearby village of Fleischessen. The present castle dates from the second half of the 16th century. It is a two-story, rectangular building with a hipped roof and cylindrical corner turrets. Originally, it was surrounded by a moat, of which only a small pond remains. Over the centuries, the castle changed hands several times and fell into disrepair at times. Today, it is picturesquely situated in the Mostviertel region and is a popular destination for cyclists.

Strannersdorf Castle is located west of Mank in the Mostviertel region. A castle was first mentioned on this site in the mid-14th century. In the 15th century, the Lords of Walsee built a new fortress on the site after losing their ancestral castle. At the beginning of the 16th century, the Steinberger family took over the fortifications and transformed them into the castle it houses today. The striking neo-Baroque façade with its characteristic spire was created during extensive modernization in 1888/89. For a tour to Strannersdorf Castle, there are numerous cycling paths in the area. The region around Mank offers scenic routes suitable for both recreational and competitive cyclists.

A beautiful little town with a church and a castle. The north-south long-distance hiking trail 05 and the Roman road 651 pass through here.

The castle ruins date back to the Middle Ages and originally served as a protective and residential castle. Rabenstein an der Pielach is easily accessible via the B39. Parking is available at the fire station and the train station. It is also possible to get there by public transport, as Rabenstein an der Pielach train station serves as the starting point for several hiking trails.

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.
