The Emmerberg Castle ruins are located on a ridge near the Prosset Gorge and are among the historic fortresses of Lower Austria. First mentioned around 1170, they served as an important defensive point on what was then the northern border of the Carantanian March. Although they were never militarily tested, they were inhabited until 1760 before they began to decay – triggered by the sale of the roof structure. Although the ruins are now inaccessible for safety reasons, their imposing remains and picturesque location make them a fascinating sight.
