Schloss Leiben
Castle / Castle
Leiben Castle, also known as Leiben European Castle, is a major architectural landmark perched on a mighty rock and featuring a unique 17th-century wooden coffered ceiling. It was opened in 1991 after the municipality of Leiben acquired the castle from the Federal Forests. Originally known as the Tractor Veteran Museum, it was renamed an agricultural technology museum in 1994 and has been called the “Austrian Agricultural Museum Europaschloss Leiben” since 2019. The castle is regularly used for events after it was renovated.
The history of the castle goes back to the 12th century, when Margrave Leopold III. donated goods in Lupan (Leiben) to the Klosterneuburg Monastery. From 1196 to 1332 it was the seat of the Knights of Leiben family.
The castle now houses the Agricultural Technology Museum, which shows the historical development of agricultural equipment. The castle vaults contain an agricultural equipment museum with exhibits from the first generation of tractors and impressive moving models that were individually made.
