The OTHER museum of loca history/"Schloss Lind" deals with recent contemporary and social history in the form of "associative installations" and special exhibitions (for example, the exhibition area also includes a memorial for the victims of the Nazi concentration camp of Mauthausen 1942 – 1945). With its wide range of events, permanent exhibitions, the castle park and eight galleries for special exhibitions, it sees itself as a centre for region-specific art and culture of remembrance.

Since 2011 it has been run by Britta Sievers and the author and theater maker Andreas Staudinger as a centre for region-specific art and culture of remembrance. On about two thousand square metres, the OTHER museum of local history shows the permanent exhibition "the own & the foreign" (curators: Uli Vonbank-Schedler and Werner Koroschitz), the memorial to the history of the Mauthausen subcamp, rooms with associative installations by Aramis, the photo gallery, the prelate gallery, the casemate gallery ("public archaeology"), the pigsty gallery, the glass house gallery, the "Brechelstadl" gallery, the sheepfold gallery, the tower gallery, the concert and performance hall, four libraries and the tower theater. In the area around the castle there is the freely accessible castle garden (the "Zoemetery of things").
