I am looking an information about the palace or castle in the town Rein bei Straubing, which is situated in Niederbayern, Germany. The Austro-Hungarian General of the First World War and a Hungarian political figure the Archduke Josef August von Habsburg had dyed hier in 1962 in the age of 90. It is some kind of a Renessance castle. I wonder, how it looks like and who was the owner from the beginning of the 20th centery until now.

BUT: There is another town called Rain in Bayern, which also has a castle. It is situated in Donau-Ries Kreis in Schwaben.
