It is the most important pilgrimage site in Lower Austria and the second largest in Austria after Mariazell. The basilica is an impressive early Baroque building with a striking twin-tower facade.

The castle is prominently situated on a rock on the right bank of the Danube, above the municipality of Persenbeug-Gottsdorf, at the transition from the Strudengau to the Nibelungengau.

Booking a guided tour here is definitely worthwhile. A room entirely covered in mosaics made of Danube pebbles or the diamond vault are truly impressive. That alone is worth it.

The cannon roundabout of Pöggstall Castle was built around 1530 as an outlying defensive structure and served to defend the castle. The round fortress tower, with its mighty walls and loopholes, was part of the former moated castle complex. Today, the roundabout is considered one of the most impressive late medieval defensive structures in Lower Austria.

A fascinating castle with an exhibition included in the Lower Austria Card. Food and drinks are available.

The beautiful courtyard, the diamond vault, and the Mosaic Room (made entirely of small pebbles) are definitely worth a visit. Individual rooms can be explored independently, while the state rooms are only accessible with a pre-booked guided tour.
