Description
At 274 m above sea level, the "Hutsaulberg" is a prominent point in the landscape.
Altlichtenwarth was part of the ancestral estate of the Lords of Liechtenstein, whose castle was located to the north of the village. Heinrich I von Liechtenstein (1230/65) also named himself after Lichtenwarth, as can be seen from the inscription on a seal from 1258. The "castle" could have stood on the Hutsaulberg. It was probably a wooden/clay building. There are no remains of walls.
The name "Hutsaulberg" indicates that it was used as a lookout point in case of danger from enemies. Allegedly, a wooden pillar was moved in case of danger to warn the population. The name "Lichtenwarth" also refers to the lookout point ("Lichte Warte").
The lookout point offers a wide panoramic view of over 50 villages. The entire north-eastern Weinviertel, southern Moravia and eastern Slovakia can be seen, and even the Schneeberg can be seen with the naked eye on rare days.
