Worth seeing:
Pöggstall Castle - which hosted the Lower Austrian provincial exhibition "Alles was Recht ist" in 2017 - is home to a museum on the history of law, including the only "original" torture chamber and a documentation on the life and work of artist Franz Traunfellner. The special exhibition "Pöggstall Castle - between the region and the imperial court" in the barbican is just as exciting and tells of the eventful restoration, significant finds and amazing stories about the lords of the castle. A 3D animation vividly shows how the keep and the later castle grew from its original structure to its present form.
In addition to Pöggstall Castle with its barbican (traffic circle), the very old St. Anna Church in the field (1140), the parish church of Pöggstall and the pilgrimage church in Neukirchen (1118) on the Ostrong, which is older than Maria Taferl as a pilgrimage church, are also worth a visit.
Leisure tips:
4 tennis courts, beach volleyball court, soccer pitch, a covered multi-sports facility, children's playgrounds, campsite, mountain bike and cycle routes, fishing and riding opportunities, Laas horse farm, Texas Longhorn Austria, Hotglass Atelier Faffelberger, Kräuterhof Schrammel, Josef Mitmasser brand painting.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
