Falkenstein, a market village in Lower Austria, southeast of Nikolsburg, acquired special interest in Mennonite history through the surprise on Steinabrunn, where the Anabaptists were seized and taken to the Falkenstein castle in chains. The castle is now in ruins. In the vicinity there were many Anabaptists, according to the books of Christoph Andreas Fischer. About 1550 the priest Niklas Woisch reported to the authorities that four or five of his predecessors had had to deal with Anabaptists. He himself is reported to have joined them. At any rate, all that Fischer relates about affairs in Veldsberg applies also to Falkenstein.
