The Roman Catholic parish church of Falkenstein (patron saint: St. James the Elder) is a west-facing early Baroque hall church with a southeast tower. It stands in a dominant and elevated position northwest of the town center in front of the castle of Falkenstein in Lower Austria.

The history of Falkenstein Castle is as old as the settlement of the Weinviertel itself. The castle was built under Emperor Henry III in the middle of the 11th century. As a border fortress to the north, it once protected the country from attacks from Bohemia and Hungary. The first lords of Falkenstein were vassals of the Babenbergs. Falkenstein Castle was a sovereign fief and pledge for centuries until it became private property in 1571. In 1645, the castle was conquered by the Swedes, but not destroyed. It did not begin to decay until the end of the 17th century. Source: www.burgruine-falkenstein.at/geschichte/

The romantic castle ruins from the 11th century stand proudly above the wine-growing town of Falkenstein in the Weinviertel. The once mighty castle complex is now one of the most popular tourist destinations in the north-eastern Weinviertel. The old walls invite you to explore and offer a fantastic view.

The summit is unfortunately a bit off the path in the middle of a field. There is a brick base with the inscription "TP". When the weather is clear, you can see as far as the Schneeberg from here.

Interesting castle ruins that you can visit and where guided tours are offered. Legend has it that when the castle builders came here, they saw hawks sitting on the stones. That's why they called the castle Falkenstein... Well, at least the falcons, the former rulers of these rocks, tell this story. As you can read on one of the plaques...
