The freely accessible open-air museum conveys the life of the Burgenland in the period between 500 and 1000 AD as an adventure facility. The early medieval village currently consists of a group of five residential or craft buildings, a ceramic kiln, an oven, a blacksmith's hut and a kitchen. Is a bit off. It is definitely worth the detour - really worth seeing! Further information: http://www.fruehmittelalterdorf.at

The hilltop castle was built in the 12th century on the 480 m high Schlossberg. After it was connected to the town by a ring wall, it formed an important fortification to secure the eastern border [wikipedia]

Is very hidden. But it's worth a trip. There are always camps there and also instructional tours. Really well done and very detailed and authentic. Information on the municipality's website: www.unterrabnitz.at www.fruehmittelalterdorf.at

Great castle complex. Obviously prepared for visitors with a lot of local commitment. A well-developed road leads directly to the castle. You can take bikes with you. The hilltop castle was built in the 12th century on the 480 m high Schlossberg. After being connected to the town by a ring wall, it formed an important fortification to secure the eastern border. The castle was owned by important families, such as the Lords of Wildon from Styria, the Kuenringers, Güssingers, Pottendorfers, Puchheimers and finally the Hungarian Counts Pálffy. Even Hungary's King Matthias Corvinus was the lord of the castle in Kirchschlag before Emperor Maximilian I recaptured Kirchschlag after his death. The decay of the castle began when around 1650 Hans Christoph III. von Puchheim had the courtyard house, today's town hall, built in the village and moved his residence there. The Counts Pálffy did not move into the Kirchschlag Castle either, but moved their seat to the better-preserved Krumbach Castle, which continued the decay. Just like Güns Castle, Kirchschlag Castle was never conquered during the Turkish sieges of 1529 and 1683. The castle could not be taken by the Haiduks (1605), by the robbery hordes of the Hungarian insurgent Gábor Bethlen (1621) and by the Kuruzzi (1703) and offered the population safe protection.
