In 1386, Stauf Castle was occupied by Duke Albrecht and subsequently inhabited by stewards. Upon the death of Wolfgang II in 1559, Stauf Castle passed to Wolfgang von Liechtenstein und Nikolsburg as part of the division of the estate. In 1593, Helmhard Jörger acquired the Stauf estate. Together with the Protestant estates, he openly resisted Emperor Ferdinand II, who confiscated the Jörger estates and transferred them to Imperial Prince Karl von Harrach in 1622. Since that time, Stauf has been in the possession of the Harrach family. The medieval complex consists of a keep, a great hall, and an outer bailey, of which only the main walls, built of rubble and fieldstones, remain. The 21.67-meter-high keep, accessible from the inner courtyard, has an irregular hexagonal shape on the outside but rectangular shape. The lowest floors feature pointed barrel vaults; the exterior edges of the tower are reinforced with stone blocks, and the window slits have Gothic stone jambs. The Stauf Castle ruins, with their tower (viewing platform) that can still be climbed, have become a well-known and popular destination for day trips thanks to the exceptionally beautiful panoramic view that greets visitors on clear days. ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/395527/9FE6DAB4B80D279A5AAE4E721FD451AC888BB9940AE871465A314540A221D354/variant-jpg.jpg) Ruine Stauff Burgruine Stauf ![DSC09502.JPG](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/395390/46D95B23F0647D5EC6A6A22B5773534E120CDD3BFD76443AD6ADB02ABFBF660C/dsc09502-jpg.jpg "DSC09502.JPG") Café Rathmayr ![Freibad_Rutsche.JPG](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/395391/8908E2BC2E8674072B8DCD2976100CE4E4800AA1CEF6FCE048BA347E69C0386C/freibadrutsche-jpg.jpg "Freibad_Rutsche.JPG") St. Agatha Adventure Bath As an active holidaymaker, you will love the new adventure pool with a large sunbathing lawn, swimming pool, non-swimmer area and a 40-metre water slide! ![200811217-Pizzeria-Bella-Vista-Eröffnung (34).JPG](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/395387/083B1995AC1938751B0B20F5CDAB22D37AB194133B2BB3D76F2367D5250A20D5/200811217-pizzeria-bella-vista-eroeffnung-34-jpg.jpg "200811217-Pizzeria-Bella-Vista-Eröffnung (34).JPG") Pizzeria-Restaurant "Bella Vista" ![Fadingerhof3.JPG](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/395384/AF350FA0042339C6FA1AE5109719D06EF5A8B33F359D95E20F38313E35623B77/fadingerhof3-jpg.jpg "Fadingerhof3.JPG") Stefan Fadinger Museum In 1626 the Upper Austrian farmers made a revolt against the Bavarian Duke Herberstorff.
