In the valley of the small Kamp, one of the oldest castles in the northwestern Waldviertel presents itself stylishly and proudly on a granite rock mountain. Rapottenstein Castle tells of the interaction of the forces of nature and man, of Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance. Here you don't just go for a walk, but an unforgettable journey during a visit. The castle lies in the middle of an extensive Kuenringer estate.
Around 1150, Rapoto von Kuenring founded a number of castles in the Waldviertel to secure the Kuenringer's property, the most powerful of which was Rappottenstein.
