Unfortunately, it's privately owned and not open to the public. A few years ago, I wrote a blacksmithing report on the impressive window grilles and had access to the entire site for a day. It's a shame that some of the castles aren't accessible.

Strannersdorf Castle is located west of Mank in the Mostviertel region. A castle was first mentioned on this site in the mid-14th century. In the 15th century, the Lords of Walsee built a new fortress on the site after losing their ancestral castle. At the beginning of the 16th century, the Steinberger family took over the fortifications and transformed them into the castle it houses today. The striking neo-Baroque façade with its characteristic spire was created during extensive modernization in 1888/89. For a tour to Strannersdorf Castle, there are numerous cycling paths in the area. The region around Mank offers scenic routes suitable for both recreational and competitive cyclists.

Privately owned and therefore unfortunately can only be viewed from the outside. Story: The place was first mentioned around 1074 by the Hochfrei Adalbert von Kilb. In the 12th century, the rule came to Rudolf von Perg. Friedrich von Perg was inherited by the Babenberg Duke Leopold V in 1191. In the 13th century, a knightly family again named itself after Kilb. In 1410 a knight from “Sebeck” was named as the owner. In 1460, Jörg von Pottendorf sold his castle in Kilb to Bernhard von Tiernstein, who built an extensive new building and, ten years later, bequeathed it to the brothers Rüdiger and Jörg von Starhemberg, but also promised the defense construction to his grandson Georg von Velderndorf. The latter probably received it, because in 1521 Hans Velderndorfer sold the fortress to Göttweig Abbey. The castle was now called Grünbühel. He bought it back in 1534, but finally sold it to Jakob Gienger in 1549. Jacob's son Nikolaus had the old fortified building converted into a more comfortable Renaissance castle. As a result, the owners usually changed quite quickly. Around the middle of the 17th century, the Barons Ruess von Ruessenstein came into possession of the castle. Only the barons and later Counts of Wickenburg owned Grünbühel for a longer period from 1720 onwards. In 1830, Karl Theodor Graf Wickenburg had major construction work carried out, which gave the building its current appearance. In 1845 the castle came into rapidly changing bourgeois ownership. From 1969 to 2004 it belonged to the Friedel-Klarenberg family. Since then, Dr. Georg Graf Pachta-Reyhofen, lord of the castle at Grünbühel.

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.

Plankenstein Castle was lovingly restored over decades of work by Peter Trimbacher since 1975 and by its new owner Erich Podstatny since 2010. The castle has a tavern and a hotel with exceptional rooms! Ask for a tower room! You will be amazed! My room was rather simple, but had direct access to the large sun terrace with a mountain panorama. I enjoyed it: the sun, the view, the sunset and at night the stars and the Milky Way. However, the castle can not only be visited by hotel guests. Tours are at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. It is noticeable that a lot of ceramic works of art and terracotta figures by the artist Melanie Hell can be seen in the castle. Please be sure to visit the playground and the large tournament area behind the castle. All of this is freely accessible. It is also noteworthy that there are two steeply sloping cliffs behind the castle. The very first castle was built on the rock that is closer to the castle. It was actually just a fortified house. However, it did not last long because there was a rockfall. Therefore, the current castle was moved further forward. Behind the castle there is an old steel bridge with riveted trusses. This bridge was dismantled in Melk and rebuilt by Mr. Podstatny between the tournament square and the former castle rock.

A castle at this point was already mentioned in the middle of the 14th century. It was rebuilt by the Lords of Walsee in the 15th century after they had lost their ancestral castle. In the early 16th century, the Steinberg family took over the fortifications and converted them into the castle that still stands today. However, today's neo-baroque facade with the spire stems from a modernization in 1888/89.

Stage destination of my bike tour, with overnight stay at the castle. Everything was excellent. Rooms, tavern with good food and of course the castle itself is worth seeing, including the extensive grounds (be sure to walk in the direction of the tournament). https://www.burgplankenstein.at/

Strannersdorf Castle is surrounded by a long wall, which also encloses the associated large manor, which is no longer used today, and the other outbuildings and the extensive park. The Reich-Rohrwig family came into possession of Strannersdorf through inheritance. The well-kept property is also currently used by her for residential purposes and can therefore only be viewed from the outside.

The bike path goes right past the castle or even through the grounds, the parks next to it invite you to take a break. A beautiful place! "Most of the castle dates from the 16th century, the oldest part probably even from the 11th century. The castle was once a moated castle and has a small courtyard with Tuscan colonnades, a round bay tower with coat of arms cartouches from the Middle Ages and a marble portal with the year 1674."

You should definitely stop here during a tour. Unfortunately it was very foggy for me and the tavern was also closed due to Covid19. Renovation work is currently being carried out on the castle. There is a nice little climb behind the castle. Also behind the castle there are often parties, there is also a stage, after Corona there will hopefully be something going on here again soon. Here is a link to the event calendar: https://www.burgplankenstein.at/veranstaltungen

Hotel, restaurant, event location and all in one castle. On top of that, there is a fantastic view from here. Who can say that they once stayed in a castle? Here is the opportunity to do so. The mountain bike route leads through the middle of the castle courtyard and a crisp trail begins right behind it. Heart, what do you want more?
