This selection includes the 12th-century Aggstein Castle, the Roman remnants of the Römerturm, and defensive structures like the thousand-year-old Ruine Hinterhaus. These sites illustrate the region's strategic history, ranging from hilltop fortresses and manor houses to functional heritage buildings like former salt warehouses and postal towers.
