Tips from the Community
Gars am Kamp is first mentioned in documents as a market town in 1279, and the market rights were confirmed in 1403. Gars Castle was expanded by the Kuenringers; later lords of the castle included the Maissauers and the Counts of Lamberg. The large Renaissance castle built in the 16th century fell into ruin in the 19th century due to the burden of the roof tax.

Gföhl was first mentioned in documents around 1180 and looks back on a long history as a market town and centre of the Waldviertel. The most important milestones Antiquity and settlement: Prehistoric finds (like from the Bronze Age) prove early traces of humans on the Gföhl plateau. Before German settlement from the 12th century onwards, there was a Slavic presence. First mention (1180): The place name is presumably derived from a topographical depression in the ground. Elevation to market town (1314/1493): In 1314, Gföhl is mentioned as a market town. In 1493, Emperor Frederick III granted the town official market rights and a coat of arms. War hardship and crises: In 1426, the Hussites destroyed the town and church. The population also suffered severely during the Peasants' War (1595) and the Thirty Years' War (1645), as well as from the plague (1679/1681).

From the farmstead to the castle Who would have thought that a small farmstead would become a "castle of the future"? The farmstead, founded in the 10th century by the lords of Schiltarn, is primarily used by various lords of Kronsegg Castle. It was not until the 16th century that the medieval structure was expanded into a castle and a new seat of power. After a varied succession of owners, Count Aichelberg-Ruhmerskirch sold the castle in 1929 to the municipality of Langenlois. Just one year later, it was acquired by the Order of the English Maidens, who have since operated various educational institutions for children here. This teaching activity was interrupted during World War II – the castle came into the possession of the SA. In 1987, Psychosoziale Zentrum Schiltern GmbH had the building complex renovated with the help of the state of Lower Austria and has since offered the ideal environment for psychotherapeutic rehabilitation on site.

After historical decay, the complex was extensively renovated in the 20th century through private initiative and saved from ruin status. As it is privately owned, it can usually only be viewed from the outside.
