Kattau Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle was first mentioned in 1343. In the 15th century it was occupied by the Hungarians under Matthias Corvinus. Emperor Frederick III won the building back and in 1497 his son Maximilian I entrusted Heinrich Prüschenk von Stettenberg with the rule. It was probably converted into a moated castle in the first half of the 17th century. A mention in 1644 describes it as newly built. From 1669 to 1827, the owners at the time, the Barons von Gilleis, carried out the Baroque renovation of the castle. Other owners from 1832 to 1839 were Josef von Hempel, as well as the Lords of Neuhaus and the Geymüller family. After the Second World War, demolition was considered due to the dilapidated condition of the building, but partial renovations were carried out. Kattau Castle is still the center of the estate and belongs to the Hiller family.

View of Retz Windmill

Highlight • Monument

I was amazed at that. There is actually a windmill on the hills in front of Retz. The story behind it: The windmill was built in the 18th century and used to grind grain. It is fully functional again after an extensive restoration. In any case, a great place to take a break!

Definitely on the tower (€ 1.- in the turnstile interject), the view of the old town of Retz is stunning!

Old Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

A four-sided structure made up of arched niches with figures of saints from 1774 rises above a mighty volute base. Above this is a group of figures of Jesus with the cross and three angels and finally, on a bank of clouds and with putti, the Holy Spirit dove and God the Father with the globe.
