Maissau Castle is a well-preserved hilltop castle. Its history dates back to the 12th century. Two distinct aspects of the complex are presented to the viewer. The older part, facing the forest, dates back to the 14th/15th century and still displays early Gothic architecture, particularly the watchtower and defense tower. From the town side, the southern wing, since its 19th-century remodeling, bears the character of a Romanesque-Neo-Gothic style. The complex is owned by the Abensperg and Traun families. It is not open to the public.

There has been a party atmosphere here in the summer for over 25 years. The quarry party is known far beyond the village's borders and brings thousands of like-minded people together for many hours of partying. Outside of the party season, this is probably an inconspicuous place.
