wonderful tour

The Dobra Castle ruins are located on a steep volcanic cone rising directly above the market town of Neuhaus am Klausenbach. The castle's origins date back to the 12th century: Built as a Hungarian border fortress, it formed a dam in the Klausenbach Valley, serving as a strategic counterpart to the Styrian Kapfenstein Castle. During numerous conflicts throughout the Middle Ages, the fortress was repeatedly conquered and changed hands. The castle was last captured by Andreas Baumkircher in 1467, suffering significant damage. Although the complex was restored, the end of the castle's military and political significance at the beginning of the modern era led to a rapid decline of the once mighty fortification from the mid-17th century onward. As in many similar cases, the buildings were actively demolished, and the stones were reused as building material elsewhere. Today, only the remains of the thick inner walls of the pentagonal castle courtyard bear witness to its past strength.

Be careful when climbing here its steep and nasty. Yes, you will have to climb. There are a lot of huge fallen trees trunks cought up on rocks, take care not to disturb them, you dont want it all to fall on you and take you with it downhill. This place is off-road and hard to find. Unfortunately there is not much left of it. During the centuries it slowly crumbled and you can find stones around the area. There is still something left so its wort the effort to see. Foundation are all over the hill side and some stones are left. This must have been a grand fortress in the old days, im happy to have seen it.

The castle is owned by the Batthyány family and is surrounded by a well-kept park with two baroque stone figures. The castle was built in 1846 by Count Franz Batthyány to replace an older building. The owner lived mainly in Jormannsdorf Castle and used Neumarkt only as a second home. The castle is still owned by the Batthyany family.

Tabor Castle, built in 1469 and given a baroque makeover in the 17th century, served various purposes, including as a refuge during the religious wars and later as a residence for estate employees. After extensive restorations in 2002-2003 and a change of ownership in 2019, it is now owned by the state of Burgenland and is used as an event venue and for a Heurigen restaurant.

Beautiful place after you've made the climb

hard to find but very nice to look at, unfortunately there is not much of this ruin left.

The Alt-Gleichenberg Castle was a castle owned by the Lords of Riegersburg-Wildon on a ridge to the left of the Klausenbach in what is now the municipality of Bad Gleichenberg in Styria. Remains of the Alt-Gleichenberg Castle, called Meixnerstube, can be found in today's dry biotope nature reserve at the Klausen quarry.
