After its renovation, Starhemberg Castle, built in the 16th century, is the focus of a wide range of cultural and tourist activities.

This granite block was erected during the Waxenberg Knight's Tournament. It contains a sword whose hilt and crossguard are visible, allowing everyone to test their strength. Text on the plaque: According to legend, Merlin forged a magnificent sword and, using his magical powers, drove the blade into a massive stone. The sword's name was Excalibur, and on the hilt was inscribed in golden letters: "Whoever can draw this sword from the stone is the rightful king of Britain." Draw the sword from the stone like King Arthur!

An imposing and beautifully restored complex. For those with a head for heights, a staircase leads up the tower and there is a walkway around the outside to explore. PS: The "Guardians of Time" figures have meanwhile migrated again
