• Mailberg Castle is owned by the Sovereign Order of Malta and part of the Coming Party, which is the order's oldest still existing property. The current palace structure, fortified with a castle wall and moat, dates back to the 16th century. The castle church, like most religious churches, is dedicated to St. John the Baptist and dates from the 13th century. Originally built as a Gothic hall church, it was converted to Baroque style in 1609. The church was renovated in 2007 and functions as the parish church of the parish of Mailberg. The inner courtyard of the palace and the church are freely accessible, the actual palace buildings have been renovated and house the Schlosshotel Mailberg, a restaurant and the vinotheque of the "Schlossweingut Malteser Ritterorden" and the quality winegrowers' association "Mailberg Valley".
