Here you have the opportunity to contribute and implement your own ideas I would be happy to explain this to you in a personal conversation on Tel. 06648775410 Udo Bereswill Description History Walkenstein was owned by the Babenbergs in 1074, towards the end of the 13th century the Kuenringers are mentioned as the owners and between 1265 and 1324 a noble family, who probably had the rule as a fief from the Kuenringers, named themselves after Walkenstein. Johann Ehrenreich Baron of Sonnau and Reichersberg had the castle built in its current form between 1660 and 1671, which after several changes of ownership became the property of the Geras Abbey under Abbot Paul Gratschmayer, according to the purchase contract of November 8, 1760, which initially used it as an estate. Abbot Adrian Lambert Zach, who endeavored to put the Geras Abbey on a broader economic footing, set up a cold water spa here in 1890. Originally, 30 rooms were available for spa guests, and in 1904 the authorities approved an expansion of the spa to 40 rooms.

The historic building facing Kainreith is in the immediate vicinity of the local parish church, which creates a wonderful overall ambience. Four single-storey wings form a large rectangular courtyard measuring 36.1 × 26.3 metres, on the east and west sides of which there are ridge-covered round-arch arcades above prismatic pillars. The west wing is dominated by a square tower with a tent roof, cross and finial. Below the tower is the main portal framed by pilasters. In the east wing there is a chapel in need of renovation. The three-part beams and the broken segmental gable above it bear an inscription plaque commemorating Johann Ehrenreich Freiherr von Sonnau und Reichersberg, as well as an asymmetrical cartouche with the double coat of arms of the Geras monastery and Abbot Paul Gratschmayr. A terrace in front of the south side of the castle has been preserved from the original baroque gardens, below which there is a large, walled garden and from which a baroque, two-flight staircase with remains of balustrades leads to the castle. The building is supplied with central heating and is connected to the local water and sewer system. The roof, which was rebuilt in 1986, is in good condition. Main part 17th century.
