Nestled amidst baroque rose gardens, Thalheim Castle, with its main building, side wings, and a high-baroque chapel by Jakob Prandtauer, invites you to rest and relax. On the terrace, you can take a break and indulge in coffee and cake. Further information and opening hours can be found here: https://www.schlossthalheim.at/.

Apparently the center of Lower Austria is located here, and there is a hut next to it that is open here and there. A little further up (towards the forest) there is a nice viewing point.

Here in this area you don't really expect a castle and you'll be taught otherwise, there's Thalheim Castle!
