The towers of the castle dominate the scenery of the village. After ist enlargement and some alterations the castle became one of the biggest Renaissance buildings of Lower Austria. The present form dates from 1675. It was once a mighty castle with a moat and a drawbridge, within the vast plain of the Marchfeld. The castle now houses a museum for fishery and hunting, one room is dedicated to Schiske’s life and work.
