- The Streich-Holz-Quartett is a quartet of four musicians from the border regions of Waldviertel and Weinviertel in Lower Austria, focusing on the works of "old masters" and composers from Austria and the Czech Republic. Their repertoire ranges from baroque to film music and also includes international compositions. Due to the unusual composition of this quartet, each piece is specially rearranged, giving it a fresh and contemporary touch that can also be understood as a connecting element between cultures.

Ort
The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Rancířov, founded in 1257 by the Ranožír family, has evolved from a Gothic fortified chapel to a late Baroque building. After a fire in the 18th century, it was rebuilt in the Rococo style under the direction of the monk August Kienmayer. The church, with its typical late-Baroque architecture, is situated on the Rancířovský stream. Its entrance is adorned with statues and a cross, while the tower, modified after the fire, bears traces of its original defensive function. The interior features a marble column altar, frescoes, and Baroque statues. The Baroque organ in the church, built by Ignác Florián Casparides around 1765, is located in the choir loft, which is decorated with gilded pilasters and cherubs.
