Central town in the Pielachtal, scenically extremely attractive

A beautiful little town with a church and a castle. The north-south long-distance hiking trail 05 and the Roman road 651 pass through here.

Part of Kirchberg Castle

The castle ruins date back to the Middle Ages and originally served as a protective and residential castle. Rabenstein an der Pielach is easily accessible via the B39. Parking is available at the fire station and the train station. It is also possible to get there by public transport, as Rabenstein an der Pielach train station serves as the starting point for several hiking trails.

is located in the middle of MTB paradise

We stayed overnight in the castle on our long-distance hike from Hungary to Switzerland. We were impressed by the stylish room (do you say room in a castle?) and the good dinner. We can highly recommend this castle.

The castle on the slope of the Hiesberg was first mentioned in 1100 in connection with a Wernher von Zelking. Wernher von Zelking's origins are unclear. A relationship with the noble family of the Lords of Haguenau is not proven, nor is it that he was the son of Reginbert (III.) of Haguenau, as is usually assumed in research. He was married and the father of Ulrich (I.) von Zelking.[1] The Lords of Zelking died out in 1634. The festival passed through marriage to the Polheim family in Wartenburg and around 1662 to Andrä Joachim Graf Sinzendorf.[2] When the Turks besieged Vienna in 1683 and their patrols advanced far into western Lower Austria, the still well-fortified castle served as a place of refuge for the surrounding civilian population.[2] After the manorial administration was relocated to nearby Matzleinsdorf, the fortress was abandoned. In 1802 Franziska Countess Kinsky, a widowed Countess Sinzendorf, married Count Harrach for the second time. Later owners included the Counts of Rohrau and the Galgozy-Galantha family. Today the ruins only consist of stonework from the 12th to 16th centuries. However, you can still see the massive arched gate and some notched windows.

There are many beautiful castles in Austria, but this is a special gem in a beautiful landscape!
