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.

Why would anyone recommend a mountain bike ride when cycling is prohibited throughout the forest is beyond me.

Rest in a pub or visit an exhibition!

The small Peilstein is also a big highlight!

Such a great view from up there over the Yspertal delights the hiker's heart!

The massive building, located in the center of the market town of Pöggstall, dates back to the 13th century. It was expanded under Kaspar von Rogendorf at the end of the 15th century. The castle belonged to the powerful Maissauers for a long time. From 1795 to 1919 it was owned by the family fund, which had been set up to provide the family members of Empress Maria Theresa and Emperor Joseph II with part of the assets of Emperor Franz I. The nearby castles of Persenbeug, Artstetten, Leiben and Luberegg formed the so-called "Habsburg Land". In 1919 the fund was expropriated in favor of the Republic of Austria and the property was transferred to the War Victims' Fund. In 1986 it was purchased by the municipality of Pöggstall and is used as a museum and cultural venue. https://www.waldviertel.at/kultur-schloss-poeggstall

The name of the Kaiserstein (935 m above sea level) goes back to Emperor Franz I, who liked to climb the peaks around Münichreith from his summer residence Schloss Luberegg. Source. Wikipedia
