Schickenhof Manor

The Schickenhof is a manor house. It was first mentioned in a document in 1220 on the occasion of a donation to Zwettl Abbey, in 1231 as "curia quam Pilgrimus miles cognomento Schike tenuit" ("property of a soldier named Pilgrimus with the nickname Schike", meaning organizer, creator), and in 1280 by name as Shichenhove.

In the 16th century, the court was owned by Joachim Stockhorner von Starrein. In 1588, ownership changed to Achaz von Landau, who rebuilt the court around 1600. After this, ownership changed in 1623 to Christoph Pruckner, until 1757 to Katharina von Goldenstein, in 1757 to Count Leopold von Schallenberg auf Rosenau, in 1868 to Matthias Ritter von Schönerer, in 1938 to the Deutsche Ansiedlungsgesellschaft and in 1943 to Baron Ludwig von Lazarini. Currently, the Walderdorff family owns the Schickenhof.

East of the Schickenhof stands a Saint John of Nepomuk Chapel, dating from the mid-18th century and renovated in 2009, with a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk.
