Welcome to Plankenstein Castle- Enjoy your break at this historic power place in the middle of the natural region Textingtal.

With a unique view over Texing, the castle offers a variety of possibilities to immerse yourself in the moment: hikes & walks in the region, breathtaking sunrises & sunsets, an idyllic evening in the castle tavern or the arcade courtyard or by exploring the numerous winding rooms, stairs and niches of the castle.

The space
Historic spaces that have maintained their original flair with attention to detail and at the same time meet the contemporary comforts.

The knight's room of the castle Plankenstein can be reached via the impressive snail spiral staircase on the 2nd floor of the castle. Combined with tasteful, contemporary elements, the beautiful historic furnishings creates a medieval feel-good atmosphere. In the larger room there are 1 double bed and 3 single beds. In the adjoining room there are 2 further single beds and of course a private bathroom. A special kind experience, ideal for families or larger groups

Arrive and enjoy- Looking forward to seeing you soon.

HISTORY:
The castle was first mentioned in 1186 and overlooks a varied history. It was built by “those to Plancinstain” of a powerful noble family. However, it owes its name to the material from which it was built: white limestone, blanc, as they said at the time. From 1800, however, the castle fell more and more and was only renovated in its basic walls in the 1970s.

Since 2010, the castle has enjoyed a new splendor: with a lot of attention to detail, it has been brought back to life! Historic castle ingredients, original materials meet stylish contemporary comforts, creating a unique feel-good atmosphere.

Guest access
Each guest has a room with their own bathroom- There are currently 5 rooms listed on Airbnb with different amenities and prices. Definitely the perfect room is included for you.

The rest of the castle area is shared: Burgtaverne where the breakfast is served and the possibility for lunch and dinner, the Arkadenhof, the castle shop, a climbing park and the entire outdoor area with forest, the viewing platform and lots of pure nature.

I immediately loved Plankenstein Castle during a festival on site. When the castle was for sale shortly after, I fulfilled a childhood dream and acquired it. Since 2010 I have made it my mission to revive the castle with historical and original materials. In order to share this unique power place with other people, there is the possibility to stay locally, to celebrate parties or to participate in various events (medieval festival, Easter market, etc.). Since I work mainly in Vienna, I welcome and take care of you as my excellent team on site. Welcome to Plankenstein Castle- A unique place for a good break!
