Castle guide tour
The castle which was constructed in the 12th/13th century was a strategic point for the north-south toll road. After going through different private owners it ended up in the possession of the municipality of Burgenland and nowaday acts as a museum and conference center.
A nice guided tour of the castle, duration approx. 1.5h, will be provided by locals, who will show you the different aspects and history of the castle and also explain about the peace-keeping mission which evolved out of its history.
Places of interest:
- Castle tower with panorama view
- Arena/Trench
- Peace-keeping exhibition
- Chapel
- Courtyard
The cost of the guided tour is 8,5 € and will be processed within the registration.
