Built in 1829 in the English Tudor style. Privately owned, previous owners included the Krupps and the Federal Forests.

In the moated castle there are, in addition to the municipal offices, 2 bars and a theatre

Merkenstein Castle was rebuilt in 1844. It has been renovated true to the original and is privately owned. The property is therefore not open to the public.

Absolutely impressive ruins. However, if you want to take a dog that is afraid of noise, you should probably find out in advance when the adjacent shooting range is open. Unfortunately, the walk to the ruins and back was torture for us.

In 1930 extensive renovations took place. From 1934 to 1938 the former High and German Master Archduke Eugen lived here. Immediately after the annexation of Austria to the German Reich, the order was expropriated. In 1945 the order got its castle back, but the commander was moved to Vienna. After the retirement home run by German nuns was closed in 1988, the castle stood empty for 12 years and was neglected. In 1999 it was extensively restored. Since then it has served as the convent house of the Teutonic Order, Province of Austria. It is also the seat of the Austrian military bishop. Some of the rooms are available as a guest house for holding seminars.
