The church is uniquely beautiful and looks so great in photos. The church square is just as beautiful.

From 1177, a collateral line of the Babenbergs lived in the castle. It was originally intended as a widow's seat for Theodora, a niece of the Byzantine Emperor Flavius Manuel I. After the death of Henry the Younger (1236), the property returned to the main line of the Babenbergs. The castle only survived until 1529, when it became a victim of the flames during the first Turkish siege of Vienna. In 1556, it completely burned down due to a lightning strike. The castle was then left to decay and used as a source of material for houses in the Klausen.

The Parapluiberg summit (561 m) is a quiet, wooded peak where you can catch your breath after the final climb. Nearby, benches and small clearings invite you to take a short break in nature. An unassuming yet atmospheric highlight on your hikes around Kaltenleutgeben and Perchtoldsdorf.
