April 14, 2026, Arbesbach Castle Ruins

Arbesbach Castle is a top highlight that you should definitely plan a visit to. Even from a distance, you can recognize the so-called "Waldviertel's fang" (Stockzahn des Waldviertels). Once you arrive at the site, 126 steps lead up to the entrance where admission (currently €2.50) is payable in coins or by card. Then it continues inside upwards to the platform, which offers a fantastic view. There is also a circular path around the tower, which however requires some surefootedness and suitable shoes.

A beautiful lake that invites you to linger. It's easy to walk around it—but it's not wheelchair accessible.

The village was first mentioned in 1246 and was originally owned by the Kuenring line of Weitra-Rappottenstein. In 1282, the estate passed to the Lords of Falkenberg, and in 1291 to Ulrich von Kapelln. In the 14th century, Arbesbach is mentioned as a freehold property. From 1326 to 1348, it was owned by the Lords of Klingenberg, who in 1347 mortgaged "the castle and the house at Arbesbach" to Weikart and Katharina von Winkl. From 1348, Arbesbach was owned by the Lords of Dachsberg, and from 1423 by the Lords of Starhemberg. In 1480, the castle was destroyed by a Bohemian raiding party and was not rebuilt. In 1600, the estate passed to the Lords of Tschernembl, and in 1604 to Georg Fenzl von... Grueb and as early as 1605 to Georg Kaspar von Neuhaus. From 1614 owned by the Lords von Hackelberg, from 1675 to 1862 by the Countess Dietrichstein. Afterwards, it passed to the Herberstein, Geusau, and Baron Holtz families, and from 1877 onwards to the Altzinger family, who still own the estate today and reside in part of the castle complex.

The castle was built by Joseph von Fürnberg from 1771 to 1785. In 1795, the castle was purchased by Emperor Franz II and belonged to the Habsburg-Lorraine estate of Persenbeug until 2012. The building, extensively renovated in accordance with historical preservation regulations, is now privately owned.

The Arbesbach Castle ruins, also known as the "Molar Tooth of the Waldviertel," are located in the market town of Arbesbach. It was built at the end of the 12th century, presumably around 1180, by Hadmar II von Kuenring and served as a border fortress to secure the Kuenring family's holdings in the Waldviertel region. The most striking remaining structure is the pentagonal keep, which sits atop a granite rock and was originally about 25 meters high. In 1480, the castle was destroyed by Bohemian troops and was not rebuilt. Instead, the Arbesbach Manor House was later built in 1593 as the new administrative center. On the ruins of the keep, the so-called Alexanderwarte, an 18-meter-high observation tower offering panoramic views across the Waldviertel, was built in 1884.

A beautiful, quiet pond to relax in. You should take your provisions with you on this walk.
