The history of Bockfließ Castle goes back to 1168. "Breastwork of the Marchfeld", "place of refuge for the residents", a "real fortress" are descriptions of the castle in medieval documents. In the 15th century, the castle was known as a moated castle, and in the 18th century it was converted into a castle-like fortress. The notches of Turkish sabres can be seen on the old inner gate. The interior rooms were plundered in 1809 and 1945. Today the castle is owned by Countess Maya Goess, née Abensperg-Traun, and serves as a private residence.

Well, there are deer here. With a little patience and a telephoto lens, you can certainly take very nice photos here.

The two crosses of the White Lady by Bockfliess. These stand here at the edge of the forest on the Hochleithen and are, it is said, decorated every year by a woman dressed in white. Her husband is said to lie in one of the graves, who died after the Battle of Wagram on the French fall together with a Frenchman near Bockfliess in the Hohlgraben. That Frenchman lies in the other grave. That happened 210 years ago.
