Riegersburg Castle
Riegersburg Castle is a large medieval fortress built atop a steep basalt volcanic neck above the town of Riegersburg in Styria, Austria. The present complex retains extensive multi-level defensive walls, terraces and a compact summit castle complex that today houses a museum and exhibitions.

As it stood in 1653
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a steep basalt volcanic neck, the castle forms a stepped silhouette of terraced curtain walls and bastions climbing to a compact summit complex. The upper buildings cluster around a square clock tower with a white clock face, and low rectangular wings with red-tiled roofs. Multiple lower red-roofed guardhouses and small pavilions punctuate the long stone curtain walls. Steep vineyard terraces and packed stone retaining walls run up the hill; the masonry is a mix of pale dressed stone and darker volcanic rock.
