Culture and sights

Lockenhaus Castle: Lockenhaus is known for its medieval stronghold, Lockenhaus Castle, which can look back on a storied past. In the 13th century it is said to have been a shelter of the Knights Templar, but this is not one hundred percent provable. However, it is certain that Elisabeth Báthory also resided in the castle. Today the castle is a cultural center with a permanent exhibition (Gustinus Ambrosi, Knights Templar and other themes) and current exhibitions.

Parish Church Lockenhaus: The Roman Catholic parish church was built between 1656 and 1669[5] by the Italian master builder Pietro Orsolini. Since 2003, it has housed the largest church organ in Burgenland.
The former Augustinian hermit monastery next to the parish church was adapted in 1868 as a summer palace for the Esterházy family.
