The fossil cellar is the absolute highlight in the Oberkreuzstettner Kellergasse. In painstaking manual work, several cellars were merged and fitted with brick walls and vaults. Fossil finds from the Kreuzstettner Bay (Carpathian) are exhibited in numerous niches and side cellars. Guided tours are offered here: https://fossilienkeller.at/

Unfortunately, the imposing complex looks pretty desolate, although it seems to be inhabited. It can only be viewed from the outside as it is privately owned. The construction of the castle is documented as 1140. In the eventful history of the castle, the possession in the bloom reached over Hetzmannsdorf to Seebarn. In the 17th century, Count Julius Friedrich Buccelini came as a new owner. In his time, the complex was expanded in the Baroque style. Since 1955, the castle, which is connected to a larger farm, has been owned by the Koller family.
