Aggstein Castle
Aggstein Castle is a medieval hill castle ruin perched on a long rocky outcrop above the right bank of the Danube in the Wachau, Lower Austria. The site preserves a connected sequence of curtain walls, rock-built strongpoints at both ends, a palace, a women's tower and a gothic chapel; most visible fabric dates from the large 15th-century rebuilding.

As it stood in 1436
The shape it held in its prime.
A long, linear stone fortress running east–west along a rocky ridge, roughly 150 metres in length, with two prominent rock-built strongpoints at each end. Thick grey-brown masonry curtain walls link a fortified entrance in the lower west, a raised courtyard, and a cluster of stone buildings on the eastern crag: a multi-storey palace block, the remnant of a three-storey women’s tower and a small gothic chapel, all set above steep wooded slopes overlooking the Danube valley.
