Discover Ladendorf: Castle, Show Garden and Cellar Lane

Ladendorf is nestled in the Taschelbach Valley, surrounded by gentle hills to the north and south. The village combines landscapes, garden art and remarkable buildings to create a varied setting for a stay.

Castle, Church and Chapel in the Villagescape

Ladendorf Castle has shaped the history of the village. From 1722 onwards, it was extensively remodelled under the Counts of Daun. This makes the castle a tangible point of interest for anyone who is interested not only in landscapes while travelling, but also in regional architectural history. The parish church of St Andrew is dated 1766 and is based on plans by Peter Mollner. Another historic feature is the Marienkapelle in the square south of Ladendorf Castle, which dates back to 1731.

The cellar lane is also one of the village’s attractions. Together with the castle, parish church and Marienkapelle, it forms a cultural focus that you can take into account when planning your days in Ladendorf. This allows families with different interests to enjoy a varied stay without reducing the village to just one attraction.

Garden Art and Nature Experiences

There has been a nature trail in Lindenallee since 2003. It complements Ladendorf’s scenic side with a specific destination for anyone who would like to combine their stay with nature observation and a walk in the countryside. Ladendorf’s Peace Cross is also a gigantic wooden cross.

The Ladendorf Show Garden presents garden art in the English style. It includes the “Rose Garden” and the “Green Room”. The “Water Garden” contains a swimming biotope. These individual areas make the show garden a special destination for visitors who appreciate designed gardens and different garden spaces. Please note when planning your visit: The Monika Köhler Show Garden does not have regular opening hours. Plan your visit around the garden days indicated at the time and confirm by telephone before travelling.

Which Accommodation Suits Your Travel Plans?

When looking for accommodation in Ladendorf, it is worth deciding in advance what your personal focus will be. A holiday apartment can serve as a base for days centred around the castle, church, chapel and cellar lane. Those who prefer to discover garden art and landscapes can include the show garden, the nature trail in Lindenallee and the Peace Cross in their plans. This way, you choose not according to a general description, but according to which of the documented local highlights you want to shape your trip.

For those arriving by car, free parking is available directly at the railway station and in the market town. This practical information can be helpful when choosing and planning your accommodation, without presupposing a particular location or range of amenities. For further destinations in the surrounding area, you can also discover Großengersdorf, Drasenhofen, Municipality of Ulrichskirchen-Schleinbach, Kreuzstetten, Schrattenberg Bei Poysdorf, Gaweinstal, Eibesbrunn and Unterstinkenbrunn.
