Ruins currently closed!! Schwarzenbach Castle, in a state of ruins, is located in the market town of the same name. The ruins on Schlossberg were built around 1200 and were mentioned in a peace treaty in 1254. In September 1337, a Hungarian army led by the Eisenburg and Ödenburg district Leustachius besieged Schwarzenbach Castle and took it before October 4, 1337. The castle was to be replaced with Achenstein Castle in Lower Styria, in today's Slovenia (approx. 3 hours' drive from Vienna). Anchenstein came from Austria to Hungary - but Schwarzenbach did not come from Hungary to Austria. Schwarzenbach was not handed over to Austria until 1362. Purchased in 1680 by the Esterhazys, who still own it today. However, around 1800 it was abandoned as an official residence and the once magnificent building gradually fell into disrepair. Because stones from the ruins rolled into the valley, the market town ordered the Esterházy Foundation to carry out renovation work in 2014, which was objected to due to the expected costs of 130,000 euros. As a result, the Federal Monuments Office agreed to a partial demolition. The Esterházy Foundation also offered the market town to exchange one hectare of land with ruins for ten hectares of forest, which the market town rejected. In 2016, a wall with a dilapidated archway was demolished. The ruins have fallen into disrepair and are in danger of collapsing. The ruins are overgrown with bushes, the inner courtyard is filled with rubble and remains of walls several meters high. A sign at the entrance warns of the danger of collapse. The castle ruins are listed as historical monuments.
