Freienstein Castle

The remains of the Castle can be visited

Around the year 1000, the area around Ybbs and Freienstein was owned by the Counts of Ebersberg. A forged document from 1037 indicates that the Ebersbergers had soon handed Freienstein over to the Geisenfeld monastery they founded. However, under the last Babenbergs, the castle was already princely property.
