The village is dominated by Schwarzenau Castle. Swarcenawe Castle, which originally stood on this site, was first mentioned in a document in 1150. Pilgrim von Schwarzenau, mentioned in 1197, who was a follower of Hadmar II von Kuenring, is thought to have built it.
When the Gmünd-Eggenburg line of the Franz Josef Railway was opened in 1869, the village developed into an important railroad junction. But although the Iron Curtain fell on the border with the Czech Republic in 1989 and the borders were open, the railroad line continued to lose its appeal and soon only had regional significance. The branch lines, for example to Zwettl, no longer carry any passengers at all!
