Wolfpassing Castle
Highlight • Castle
The predecessor building of Wolfpassing Castle came to Sigmund Graf von Abensperg and Traun in 1635. By inheritance it came to the Barons von Geymann, who converted the castle, which had already been modernized in the 16th century, into a palace and owned it until 1723. After that, the owners often changed. In 1910, the heir to the throne, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, gave the estate to the Ministry of Defense in exchange for the Blühnbach estate, but had the majority of the well-kept furniture brought to his Bohemian Konopischt castle.
From mid-2009 to mid-2013, the Wolfpassing Learning World, a Catholic educational institution, was housed in the castle. then the palace was sold by the Bundesimmobiliengesellschaft (BIG) to a Linz entrepreneur.

Pöchlarn
Highlight • Settlement
Pöchlarn is located in the Mostviertel, on the right (southern) bank of the Danube, directly at the mouth of the Erlauf, in the Nibelungengau, and is also known as the Nibelungenstadt. The area of the municipality covers 17.92 km², 16.47% of the area is forested.
The region was settled as early as 4000 BC. The people acted inter alia. with the serpentine mined in Klein-Pöchlarn. At the time of the Romans, the Noric Limes, the strictly guarded border with the Teutons, ran here. The area of today's city center was then on a gravel island between the main stream of the Danube and the Erlauf. There was probably also an important Danube crossing at this point. Under the Flavians, the auxiliary troop fort Arelape was built on the island, where later a cavalry troop and part of the Roman Danube fleet were stationed. The Romans also built a port.
