Schloss Reichenau, Castle museum in Reichenau an der Rax, Austria
The protected monument stands at the foot of the Rax mountain range, featuring traditional Austrian architectural elements and multiple exhibition halls across its floors.
First documented in 1256, Duke Otto IV acquired the castle in 1333 before granting it to the newly established Neuberg monastery.
The castle exhibitions present collections of regional artifacts, documents, and artworks that demonstrate the evolution of Lower Austrian traditions through centuries.
Visitors can reach the castle via the Südbahn railway line to Reichenau station, with regular guided tours available from Tuesday through Sunday.
The building served as a summer residence for Emperor Charles during 1917-1918, marking the final period of Habsburg presence in Austria.
