Schloss Eichbüchl (Aichbüchl) was probably built in the 14th century by the Lords of Vierdung. According to other sources in Wiener Neustadt, it was supposedly only built between 1558 and 1566. It is possible that a first castle was destroyed during the First Turkish Siege in 1529 and that the current castle was rebuilt slightly off to the side.

The castle, sometimes called Burg Vordergrimmenstein since the 19th century, while the former castle on the summit of the 758 m high Kulmriegel was also called Burg Hochgrimmenstein and a former castle southwest of the Kulmriegel at the end of the Kunzgraben were designated as Hintergrimmenstein.

The castle's history dates back to the 14th century, but it is shaped by the fateful days of April 1945. Commissioned by Stalin, Dr. Karl Renner spent twelve busy days at Eichbüchl Castle developing the basic structures of the Second Republic. At the same time, he prepared the formation of a provisional government, and as its Chancellor, he finally announced Austria's declaration of independence in Vienna on April 27, 1945. Eichbüchl Castle thus found its indelible place in the history books as the birthplace of the Second Republic. More on the history: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Eichb%C3%BCchl

The tower of the Turk's fall collapsed. With it, the crescent moon at the top also fell into the depths (the district papers reported). Now the crescent could be found. GLEISSENFELD (ts/e_peinsipp). The Turk's Fall is a landmark that can be seen from afar for the nature park and the hiking area with historical significance. But recently part of the ruin, which was artificially created over 200 years ago, collapsed. Parts of the boulders rolled through the forest to the hiking trails that began in the valley. Now the long-lost crescent that sat at the top of the Turk's Fall Tower could be handed over to the community again.

Open on weekends and really worth seeing! https://www.burg-grimmenstein.at/ The castle is one of three former fortifications on the Kulmriegel, which dominates the Pittental. Like the other two weir systems, it was left to decay due to the roof tax and largely removed as building material. In the 1960s, it was repaired and partially rebuilt in the neo-romantic style using the walls that were still in ruins. After further deterioration, the new owner Markus Albero Grimmenstein has been restoring 90% of the facility himself since July 2014 without public funds/funds and has been opening it to the public since April 2016.

Built in the 14th century, the castle acquired its current appearance in 1906 when a Chinese silk importer had it completely remodeled in a confectioner's style. It is also often referred to as the birthplace of the Republic of Austria. In this house in April 1945 after the invasion of the Red Army Dr. Karl Renner, who later became Chancellor and Federal President, was entrusted with the reestablishment of the Second Republic of Austria. The current lord of the castle, Mag. Dietmar Machold, acquired the building in 1997, which he has since regularly made available for concerts and cultural events.
