"Spitz has been occupied since Celtic times, it was first mentioned in 830. A hill "Tausendeimerberg" (Hill of a Thousand Buckets) is so named because of the many grapes that grow there, for theWachau valley, for which Spits is in, is famous for them. The Late Gothic church to St. Maurice is famous for its Apostles (1380) and an altarpiece by Kremser Schmidt. To the south of Spitz is the famous fortress of Hinterhaus." Wikipedia
The ruins of Hinterhaus Castle originate from the 12th century. The castle dates back to the time of Kuenringers rule when it served as a strategic stronghold. From here they were able to rule the entire Wachau valley.
