The renaissance residence of Premonstratensian abbots was rebuilt into a Mannerism chateau on the basis of the plans by Giovanni Pietro Tencalla at the end of the 17th century. When the chateau was owned by Baron Moritz Königswarter, it was radically reconstructed in pseudo-renaissance style. The main one-storey building is surrounded by its wings that create almost a square courtyard with storey colonnades. The chateau has been preserved in this condition. There is a park near the chateau that was changed into a natural landscape park with two lakes at the end of the 19th century. There are romantic structures on the hillside - an artificial waterfall with a cave, a Tyrolean pavilion. The chateau is occupied by the Social Care Institute which uses the main building and the park. The chateau is therefore not accessible to public.
