Rosenburg train station

The nostalgically preserved reception building with the typical corner ashlars warmly welcomes its guests to Rosenburg station. The railway station is located along the Kamptalbahn and is called a so-called through station due to the rail traffic from two directions.

There are sufficient waiting rooms and toilets in the unoccupied station building, as well as the possibility of using the attached Park & Ride facility. There is also a post bus stop at the station forecourt.

Starting point

Not only the imposing steel bridges along the Kamptalbahn give you an idea of the history to be discovered here, you can also see the popular destination for summer visitors - Rosenburg Castle - from the train. The impressive castle complex can be seen from afar, perched high on a mighty rock above the Kamptal.

The Rosenburg circular route takes you directly from the station to the impressive castle with the largest tournament courtyard in Central Europe. Many rooms are freely accessible, a guided tour can also be taken. Due to varied events such as seasonal markets, knights' games and the impressive bird of prey shows, Rosenburg Castle invites you not to leave it at a single visit.

The culinary offer on an extensive scale, such as the possibility to experience a traditional knight's meal, rounds off the excursion experience and promises unforgettable impressions to take home with you.

History

After the opening of the approximately 44 km long Kamptal Railway in 1889, the essential importance of the Renaissance castle in Rosenburg as a place of recreation for city dwellers quickly developed. Due to two large mills located in Rosenburg, however, freight traffic also played an important role, as almost all of the ground products were transported via the Rosenburg junction. At the end of the 1980s, however, freight traffic was discontinued and the corresponding terminal buildings were demolished. This was followed by extensive renovation of the reception building.

Today, the station building is a listed building and is used by ÖBB regional trains every one to two hours.
