The most beautiful castles, palaces & ruins

Mighty castles and palaces tower over the river and bear witness to bygone eras. The palette ranges from the medieval Gozzo castle in Krems to mysterious ruins and the Baroque splendour of the Marchfeld castles.

Impressive abbeys & churches

Impressive buildings such as the world-famous Melk Abbey and Göttweig Abbey, which can be seen from afar, are highlights of any trip. In Krems, on the other hand, the Minorite Church and the Dominican Church are widely recognised cultural venues.
