Story: Before the Lower Austrian energy supply built three barrages on the Kamp in 1960, Ottenstein was a lonely castle. Ottenstein is mentioned for the first time in 1177 and was built as a fortification of the Babenberg settlements against the northern border. Ditches and a stone bridge, outwork, gate tower and the "Stöckl" laid out in a semicircle with the two round towers still give an idea of this former function. In 1624, the Counts of Lamberg came into possession of Ottenstein and a second phase of conversion followed: A princely palace was created from disjointed wings and a tower, and the former keep was transformed into a stairwell. Ottenstein Castle today: During a restoration phase in 1974, frescoes were discovered in the Romanesque castle chapel, a vaulted room with a semi-circular apse, which drew art lovers from all over the world to Ottenstein.

Wildberg Castle, formerly also Wildberg Castle, is a castle high above the Taffatal in the Lower Austrian municipality of Irnfritz-Messern, northwest of Horn. The first written mention of Wiltperch Castle comes from the 12th century. The castle belonged to the Lords of Wildperch, probably a branch of the Counts of Poigen. After the male line of Hohenburg-Wildberg died out, the castle came to the Counts of Vohburg, partisans of the Hohenstaufen family, as a princely fiefdom at the beginning of the 13th century. Then it came to the gentlemen of Maissau. The Lords of Puchheim, who owned Wildberg Castle from 1432, expanded it into a fortified castle that also served as a place of refuge during the turmoil of the 17th century. At the end of the 16th century they set up a printing house for Protestant writings and converted the castle complex into a renaissance castle. In connection with the Horner Bund, the printing company made Wildberg a center of Protestantism in Lower Austria. Among the numerous tracts printed in the castle was the writing of the castle preacher Johann Tettelbach von Karlstein in 1586: "Christian confession of unanimous consensus, concerns and advice." Multiple alterations and extensions during the 16th and 17th centuries left only the foundation walls of the medieval complex. The hall, the smoke kitchen and the forge are well worth seeing. At the beginning of the re-Catholicization in Lower Austria after 1620 the Wildberg Castle was expropriated from the Lords of Puchheim and passed to the Catholic Barons of Traun; from the 18th to the 20th century it belonged to the manor of Altenburg Abbey. In the 20th century it was partially restored by the Wildberg-Kaja Castle and Palaces Conservation Association with the support of the Monument Office. It was planned in which z.
