Today, the pond on the castle's west side is the last sign of the originally built moan around the water castle. An old feudal estate (Meierhof) with 18 sqare kilometers of farmland also belongs to the castle. Starting in 1990, the castle has been copletey refurbished and is being inhabited by its owners since then. That's the reason why the castle cannot be visited by public any more. Contrary to that, a sign that still can be visited is the catholic church, sancitfied to Holy Peter. Typically for all sacred buildings at least in Upper Austria, it offers different architectural styles such as late Gothic as the origin, single-span and double-span net vaults or late Gothic frescos that have been discovered again in 1956. The high altar is in late rococo, but the state of Holy Mary is built in Early Baroque. As the cancel is, while the side altars are in new Gothic stlye. The Holy Mess is being held on Sundays at 8:30 am. Rottenbach has a varying associations life. Besides the volunteer fire brigade, the music association or folklore groups, there is also an archery association or an oldtimer club.
