Also a beautiful view of the old hilltop castle, whose history dates back to the 12th century. It is privately owned by the Abensperg and Traun families. It is not open to the public.

Maissau Castle is a well-preserved hilltop castle. Its history dates back to the 12th century. Two distinct aspects of the complex are presented to the viewer. The older part, facing the forest, dates back to the 14th/15th century and still displays early Gothic architecture, particularly the watchtower and defense tower. From the town side, the southern wing, since its 19th-century remodeling, bears the character of a Romanesque-Neo-Gothic style. The complex is owned by the Abensperg and Traun families. It is not open to the public.

Beautiful old moated castle although not always open to the public.

A farm used to stand on the south-east corner of the town. The "new" castle was built on its site from the Hungarian period after 1486 until the 18th century. Over the centuries, the owners were the Eitzing, Krausenegg and Hoyos families, before the Retz estate was acquired by the Imperial Court, War and Finance Councillor Konstantin Josef von Gatterburg in 1709. After the Baroque renovation from 1712, the building remained essentially unchanged. The fourth town tower that was originally here collapsed soon after it was built due to construction defects and erosion.

Unfortunately (at the moment?) it can only be admired from the outside…

A particularly great area. It rolled well on this section.

An impressive complex - unfortunately not open to the public.

The original Althof Castle in the northwest corner of the city fortifications of Retz was destroyed by the Hussites (Taborites) in 1425/1427. In the southeast corner of the city fortifications there was initially a Meierhof, which was expanded into a Gothic city castle at the end of the 15th century by the burgrave and city captain Nikolaus Bethlen. The Counts of Hoyos acquired control in 1630 and built today's castle in 1660. In 1709 the imperial court and war councilor Konstantin Josef von Gatterburg bought the estate. He gave the building a Baroque style in 1712. In addition to Retz, he also owned the estates of Zwölfaxing and Pellendorf. In 1717 the family was elevated to the status of count as Counts of Gatterburg, barons of Retz. Today the estate is owned by the Suttner-Gatterburg family.
