Description
Riegersburg Castle Austria
Visible for miles around, the 850 year old Riegersburg Castle rises from the rocks of a volcanic mountain and offers a wonderful view over the valleys, forests and magnificent vineyards of southeastern Styria and the famous Castle Route.
It has three kilometres of defensive walls with arrow slits, seven gatehouses and eleven bastions.
A new incline cable car on the north side of the castle gets to the stronghold in 1 ½ minutes.
Amongst the castle's treasures are the imposing Great Hall, built in 1600, with its magnificent doors and panelled ceiling and the White Room, which dates from 1658, with its ornate stucco ceiling; a masterpiece of the Early Baroque.
There are three exhibitions in the castle: the "Witch Museum", "Castle Museum" and the "Military Museum".
