Defense tower
The mighty defense tower that stands in the middle of Palterndorf is a wonderful stone witness of the Middle Ages.
The tower was first mentioned in a document in the Liechtenstein land register of 1414 ("... so there is a courtyard there, the tower is in place ...") and then belonged to the Liechtensteiners. It was part of an apparently fortified courtyard.


The defense tower was once enclosed by a wall and moat. The tower was built from rubble stones and has a wall thickness of over one meter, a base area of 8 by 8 meters and a height to the eaves of 14 meters.

The ground floor has a barrel vault and is accessible through a door that was added later. The original entrance to the tower is the high entry on the first floor. This could only be reached by a ladder, which provided better protection in an emergency, because the ladder could be pulled in and this made it difficult for the attackers to get into the tower. The legend tells that there was an underground escape route from the fortified tower to the fortified church. Originally, the tower should have had a fortified end.

The largely original Gothic village tower is an extraordinary rarity across the country and is the only one of its kind north of the Danube. It is a testimony to the home decor, storage and refuge in the Gothic era. This fact gives it special historical, artistic and cultural significance.

Pilgrimage Church Maria Moos

Highlight • Religious Site

The pilgrimage church Maria Moos was built in the 13th century by the Kuenringers over an old well sanctuary. The pilgrimage church - a mix of styles from Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque elements - is one of the oldest spring sanctuaries in Lower Austria. So-called miracle books tell of numerous healings after sick people washed or drank the water.
