The first historical mention of Persenbeug Castle dates back to 970 AD. The Bavarian Sieghart, Count of Semt and Ebersberg, took possession of "Persinpiugun" and fortified it. Over the centuries, the castle changed hands many times. Until 1593, it was also intermittently in the possession of the regional princes. It was then sold to the Hoyos family, who expanded the castle to its present form. On December 3, 1800, Emperor Franz I of Austria purchased Persenbeug Castle and its dominion as free private property. Around the same time, the dominion of Gutenbrunn also came into the possession of Franz I, and was incorporated into his private fund. Through several inheritances, the dominions of Persenbeug and Gutenbrunn came into the possession of Emperor Franz Joseph I, who passed them on to his daughter Marie Valerie in 1916. Some of her descendants form the currently existing family co-ownership community.

Today, Pöchlarn is an exciting mix of a highly modern logistics center on the Danube and a town that traces its roots back to Roman times. Long before the Nibelungs passed through the town, Pöchlarn was an important Roman base called Arelape. It was a fort directly on the Danube Limes. A part of the Roman Danube fleet was stationed here. During excavations in the town area (especially in the area of the church), ancient finds have been made again and again, proving how strategically important this place was even 2,000 years ago.

Pöchlarn is a town with an extremely deep history that goes far beyond the townscape of today. It is located in the Melk district on the southern bank of the Danube and is often referred to as the "Nibelungen City". Pöchlarn is inextricably linked to the Nibelungenlied, the famous medieval epic. In the city center you will find the modern Nibelungen monument with the coats of arms of the cities that appear in the epic. It is a must for a photo when you are in town.

Maria Taferl, after Mariazell, is the most important pilgrimage site in Lower Austria and a baroque work of art. The church is a "Who-is-Who" of Austrian Baroque architecture. Standing in front of it, you are looking at the work of the absolute elite of this time. Construction began in 1660 under Daniel Gran, but it was completed by none other than Jakob Prandtauer (the creator of Stift Melk) and Joseph Munggenast. The striking twin towers and the bright facade are placed in such a way that they look like a crown over the Danube valley.
