Description

Laa Castle stands in the north-eastern corner of the castle square in the spa town. An imposing stone-walled building with a butter churn tower and a lower square battle tower was mainly used to supply and secure the fortifications. The castle was built in the 13th century. In 1564, almost the entire town and parts of the fortifications, including the castle, were burnt down in a fire. The castle became private property around 1786. In 2007, Laa Castle was purchased by the municipality of Laa.
