The history of Bockfließ Castle goes back to 1168. "Breastwork of the Marchfeld", "place of refuge for the residents", a "real fortress" are descriptions of the castle in medieval documents. In the 15th century, the castle was known as a moated castle, and in the 18th century it was converted into a castle-like fortress. The notches of Turkish sabres can be seen on the old inner gate. The interior rooms were plundered in 1809 and 1945. Today the castle is owned by Countess Maya Goess, née Abensperg-Traun, and serves as a private residence.
