Geschichte
The Merkenstein ruins are the remains of a castle in Lower Austria near Bad Vöslau in the Großau cadastre (property register). In some sources, it is mentioned as early as the year 1141. The first definite mention is in the Codex Falkensteinensis in 1170. Ludwig van Beethoven dedicated two Lieder to the ruin.HistoryIn 1486, the castle was captured by king Matthias Corvinus of Hungary. After this period, it was managed by imperial guardians; from 1603 to 1672 it was owned by the Heißperger family, and afterwards by the Dietrichstein family. In 1683 the castle was taken over and destroyed by Ottoman troops.In the 1600s, Merkenstein controlled Gainfarn, Großau, Pottenstein, Furth, Muggendorf and St. Veit.Besides the much younger Schloss Merkenstein, about 40% of the Großau congregation belonged to Merkenstein. Until the end of World War II, the castle and its precinct belonged to the Krupp family. After the war it fell under the control of the Administration for Soviet Property in Austria, as German property. In accordance with the Austrian State Treaty, the castle became the property of the Austrian state, controlled by the Austrian national parks service.
