Kälberhart Castle was first documented in 1389 and belonged to Hertel Kälberharter at the time. According to legend, he was ennobled by Friedrich von Walser for his charitable care of the poor and sick and was allowed to use a calf's head in his coat of arms. This is said to have contributed to the name of the nearby village of Fleischessen. The present castle dates from the second half of the 16th century. It is a two-story, rectangular building with a hipped roof and cylindrical corner turrets. Originally, it was surrounded by a moat, of which only a small pond remains. Over the centuries, the castle changed hands several times and fell into disrepair at times. Today, it is picturesquely situated in the Mostviertel region and is a popular destination for cyclists.

The adventure playground is a popular meeting place.

The Römerweg 651 passes here. This church is also the destination of the Mank pilgrimage route, which leads from St. Pölten to Mank.

Hiking along the Römerweg 651 you come to this hill full of small monuments, an image tree at the highest point, a Hubertus chapel and, further up, a marterle that commemorates the French Wars.

This is where the Römerweg 651 and the Manker Pilgrimage Route meet. A nice rest area with a view.

Actually an information point for cyclists, but the maps also offer some information for hikers; the Römerweg 651 and the Manker Pilgrimage Trail lead past here.

Beautiful rest area with a view and a small monument which is located on Römerweg 651, right next to it is a field of reeds that looks like it comes from another planet.

The name of the castle is probably derived from the Kelberharder family, who came into possession of what was then the moated castle around 1329. The Kelberharders moved to Strannersdorf and Grafenwörth before 1384. Afterwards, the Steinberger family temporarily named themselves after Kälberhart. A Hertel Kälberharter is mentioned in 1389. The Steinbergers lost the residence to Hans Grill in 1420, but soon regained it. In 1470 Jörg Seusenegker sold Kälberhart to Wenzel Stainberger. The small castle was already considered derelict in 1534 and in 1548 it was described as a desolate building. Ownership changed quite frequently over the next few decades. In 1599 Ferdinand von Concin zu Weissenberg and Plankenstein was enfeoffed with Kälberhart. Peter Hofmann von Ankerskron had owned the facility since 1637. Maybe he was the one who gave her the shape she has today. His descendants sold Kälberhart to Leopold Philipp Graf Montecucolli, whose widow passed it on to Johann Ignaz von Albrechtsberg in 1698. His son Jordan united it with his Strannersdorf estate. In 1782 Karl Freiherr von Seldern bought the two properties. In 1876 the Counts Barth von Barthenheim followed, then the knights Mitscha-Märheim and the Reich-Rohrwig family. Today the property is owned by the König family and has been extensively renovated.
