The parish church in Gobelsburg is a Roman Catholic church dedicated to the Feast of the Nativity of Mary. It combines Gothic basic structures with Baroque elements, including a striking west tower and a high altar from the 18th century. The church stands elevated above the village and is surrounded by a former defensive wall. It is considered an important listed building and forms a central architectural and cultural landmark for the community.

Langenlois is a charming little town located in the renowned Kamptal wine region. It is especially known for its wine production, particularly Grüner Veltliner and Riesling. The town boasts a charming old town, numerous traditional wine taverns (Heurige), and attracts wine lovers from all over the world. A highlight is the Loisium Wine & Spa Resort, a modern wine experience center with a hotel, museum, and spa, which is architecturally impressive. Langenlois thus uniquely combines history, culture, and viticulture.

The winery today belongs to the Cistercian Abbey of Zwettl in the Waldviertel region, which acquired the castle from a nobleman in 1740. The abbey owned extensive lands in Kammern and Gobelsburg as early as 1171, and of course, vineyards in the best locations. From 1958 onward, the later Abbot of Zwettl, Father Bertrand Baumann, an excellent expert, managed the winery with a steady hand. He turned the "Gobelsburg Mass Wine" into a widely recognized brand. The aged wines from his era impressively demonstrate his skills.

Haindorf Castle is located on the outskirts of the wine-producing town of Langenlois in the Kamp Valley in Lower Austria and offers an impressive ensemble of baroque architecture, extensive parkland, and modern uses. Originally built in the early 18th century, it was later converted into a training center for the BAUAkademie and now houses a seminar hotel with a restaurant. A special highlight is the annual Langenlois Castle Festival, which attracts operetta fans during the summer months. Cyclists can easily incorporate the castle into a tour through the Kamp Valley – for example, along the Kamp Valley Cycle Path. The park-like setting on the riverbank invites you to take a short rest or enjoy a cultural stopover.

The castle evolved from a former field mill; after extensive renovations in the 20th century, it is now used as a seminar and conference hotel. The expansive castle park also serves as the venue for the Langenlois Castle Festival and is an important cultural meeting place in the region.

Gobelsburg Castle in Lower Austria's Kamptal Valley is not only a historic building, but also one of Austria's oldest and most renowned wineries. The beginnings of winemaking at this site date back to 1171; the present castle, with its Renaissance core, was rebuilt in the Baroque style in the 18th century. It has belonged to the Cistercian monastery of Zwettl since 1740, and since 1996, the winery has been managed by Michael and Eva Moosbrugger together with Willi Bründlmayer. On approximately 75 hectares of vineyards, they produce award-winning white and red wines – primarily Grüner Veltliner and Riesling.

Hartenstein Castle is unfortunately privately owned and cannot be visited. From the parking lot to the castle, approximately 12 minutes. The history of the founding of the Hartenstein lordship and the associated construction is unknown. In 1726, Emperor Charles VI enfeoffed Baron Philipp Ferdinand von Gudenus with Hartenstein, and it remained in his family's possession until 1927. Between 1780 and 1799, Johann Heinrich Imperial Baron von Gudenus used the still usable materials, such as doors and window frames, to build his hunting lodge in Els. At the beginning of the 19th century, the two towers served as granaries. In 1892, physician Otto Pospischil leased the complex and established a cold water sanatorium in the outer bailey, which was rebuilt in 1892/96 in the historicist "castle style." The main castle had long since fallen into ruins. During the Nazi era, the building served as a "youth hostel" for the German Youth Hostel Association (DJH). An attempt to revive the sanatorium by physician Erich Buchmeier after World War II was unsuccessful. In 1993, Peter Kotauczek and his company BEKO took over Hartenstein.
