Originally the building was a meierhof of a hunting lodge, which was first mentioned in a document in 1396. The castle was built in the 16th and 17th centuries and its core has been preserved. Conversions and additions took place in the late 18th century and in the 1960s. Since 1994 the castle has belonged to the Order of the Servants of Jesus and Mary (SJM - Servi Jesu et Mariae). In 1996 the first members moved into what is now the Auhof Monastery. In the following years, extensive reconstruction and renovation work was carried out. In 2018 the novitiate of the order left the Auhof and moved to Haus Assen in Germany.

The Renaissance castle, originally located in the middle of a huge park, is still overlooked on the east side by the keep of the late medieval fortifications. It was built in 1578 by Hans von Sinzendorf, in 1673 the chapel with a bell tower was built. The Sinzendorf, the Saint Julien, the Kielmannsegg and others owned it as an imperial fief. The originally powerful, irregular, three-storey complex, grouped around two courtyards, with a chapel to St. Barbara, reduced in the 19th century and provided with neo-baroque facades, now belongs to the "Congregation of the School Sisters of the Third Order" and is run as an agricultural business, as well as a A home for the elderly and a hospital are housed in it.

Outside of Amstetten there is a beautiful hiking and cycling path along the Ybbs. At this point you can also turn to the Mühlbach, which is surrounded by nature.

Here at Ausee 3 there are many beautiful living options, but also beautiful views of the lake are possible, especially if you sit in front of the bistro on the shore in summer and enjoy the mood. Of course, bathing is also a pleasure here.
