The castle in Reichenau is at least as old as the name of the village itself. The castle was built around 1190 and the name "Reichenau" was first mentioned in a document around 60 years later. The castle with all its outbuildings is also located in the oldest part of Reichenau. Today, the castle is a lively cultural and event center that regularly hosts exhibitions, concerts, readings and cultural events.
