history

Dreistetten belonged to the Starhemberg rule. In the Middle Ages, the Starhemberg rulership was part of the Styrian margraves - the Piesting River was the border between Ostmark and Styria . Dreistetten was first mentioned in a document in 1149 . In 1192, Starhemberg Castle and thus the area around Dreistetten came to the Babenbergs through an inheritance contract . In the course of the second Turkish siege of Vienna in 1683 , all 32 houses and the church of Dreistetten were burned down, "the house people are missing for 18 fire ruins".

Attractions

• Starhemberg castle ruins ; an extensive formerly important castle complex on the "mons Starhenberch" north of Dreistetten. First a Styrian complex, in 1192 the handover of Styria and with it the castle to the Babenbergs took place. A Palatinate expansion took place under Frederick the Warriors . After his death in 1246, it was briefly administered by the Teutonic Order . In 1278 after the Battle of Dürnkrut , the fortress passed into Habsburg ownership. In 1482 the castle was taken by the Hungarian King Matthias Corvinus . After several decompositions , the castle was sold to the Counts of Heussenstein in 1590, who owned it for over 200 years and withstood the attack of the Turks in 1683 . It has been owned by the Salvator Habsburg-Lothringen family since 1913.
