Beautiful, large, old castle, looks a bit dilapidated from the outside

The winery today belongs to the Cistercian Abbey of Zwettl in the Waldviertel region, which acquired the castle from a nobleman in 1740. The abbey owned extensive lands in Kammern and Gobelsburg as early as 1171, and of course, vineyards in the best locations. From 1958 onward, the later Abbot of Zwettl, Father Bertrand Baumann, an excellent expert, managed the winery with a steady hand. He turned the "Gobelsburg Mass Wine" into a widely recognized brand. The aged wines from his era impressively demonstrate his skills.

Gobelsburg Castle in Lower Austria's Kamptal Valley is not only a historic building, but also one of Austria's oldest and most renowned wineries. The beginnings of winemaking at this site date back to 1171; the present castle, with its Renaissance core, was rebuilt in the Baroque style in the 18th century. It has belonged to the Cistercian monastery of Zwettl since 1740, and since 1996, the winery has been managed by Michael and Eva Moosbrugger together with Willi Bründlmayer. On approximately 75 hectares of vineyards, they produce award-winning white and red wines – primarily Grüner Veltliner and Riesling.

An unexpectedly beautiful castle in the small community of Droß

surprisingly beautiful castle, especially nice to cycle past at sunset

👍

If, like me, you have a soft spot for old cellar lanes, the short detour through this one, which stretches along the hillside between Gobelsburg and Zeiselberg, is worth it. (The road surface is rough, but easily navigable on a racing bike.)

Beautiful, quiet street with panoramic views...
