Blick auf die Burg Heidenreichstein

A very beautiful castle!

Heidenreichstein Castle is known as the most beautiful moated castle in Austria. The oldest components form an irregular square courtyard. On the west side stands the mighty keep, around forty meters high and four meters thick walls.
The oldest part of the moated castle was built around 1160. To this day, the castle is entered via two drawbridges. The interior is also unique. In addition to a thousand-year-old tabletop, you can find chests and first boxes from the Gothic period, furnishings from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. This includes inlaid cabinets and tiled stoves that still work today.
Heidenreichstein Castle is the permanent residence of the Kinsky family and the seat of the administration of Kinsky's forest and pond management. In 2003, son Peter took over the farm, which consists of forestry, pond management, hunting, agricultural land and the castle museum.
