The remains of the castle can be visited

The town of Gresten is first mentioned in a document in 1230. At that time, however, Hausegg Castle already existed to its west. Only individual wall fragments of it have survived. As early as 1142, a Berengar von Hawsec is mentioned. He was a ministerialis of the Babenbergs. The castle itself is first reported in 1181.
