Liechtenstein Castle

Liechtenstein Castle is a medieval hill castle near Maria Enzersdorf on the edge of the Wienerwald in Lower Austria and the ancestral seat of the House of Liechtenstein. Built in the 12th century beginning with a tower and later expanded into a larger palace complex, it was destroyed in Ottoman sieges and rebuilt in the 19th century; it remains privately owned by the princely family and is open to the public.

As it stood in 1500

The shape it held in its prime.

Perched on the wooded edge of the Vienna Woods, the castle began as a single stone tower and grew into a compact palace complex of connected stone ranges. The silhouette is dominated by the original vertical keep at one end and lower multi-level residential ranges with a continuous stone masonry exterior and intact pitched roofs. In its prime the complex appears fully roofed and occupied, sitting above steep wooded slopes with the built mass tightly grouped on the ridge.
