Until the lake was completely fenced in, this place was a beautiful place, especially in the evenings, with a lovely holiday vibe. Now it's more like an enclosure.

Archduke Leopold Ludwig inherited the property in 1854. Hernstein Castle owes its current appearance to him. He spent 28 years rebuilding and expanding the castle according to plans by Theophil Hansen, who is also the architect of the Parliament in Vienna. Since 2023, the Hotel Schloss Hernstein has been run as a public hotel and is a popular wedding location. More on the history: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Hernstein

The Villateich with the island in Lichtenwörth was recently renovated. The new widened sidewalks invite you to take a walk and several park benches offer a good place to sit and relax. Until the middle of the 15th century there was a moated castle on this island, called the Veste Lichtenwerd. Unfortunately, the "villa" that once bordered this beautiful pond, from which it got its name, no longer exists either. The once magnificent building was demolished more than 65 years ago. There are still some old trees from every great era, such as the giant plane tree that stood in the immediate vicinity of the villa. They are silent witnesses who have certainly seen a lot over time and yet have to fear for their existence. A completely healthy, approximately 250-year-old tree to the left of the main entrance to the island was not allowed to stay - a pity about that.

01/01/2023 - The Knollteich at Maria-Theresienplatz has become more and more muddy over the last few decades. The restoration began in 2005 - the result is impressive. The Knollteich was completely repaired by HSV Fishing and Casting in 2005. The ongoing flow of water from the Kehrbach (Schwarza) allows the stocking of trout. Fishing in the Knollteich is only permitted with artificial flies and streamers. Source: https://hsv-angeln.at/gewasser/knollteich/
