Liechtenstein Castle, Medieval castle and museum in Maria Enzersdorf, Austria.
The castle stands on the southern edge of the Vienna Woods, featuring Romanesque architecture with stone walls, beamed ceilings and historical artifacts throughout its chambers.
Built in 1130 by Hugo von Liechtenstein, the castle faced destruction during Ottoman sieges in 1529 and 1683 before undergoing reconstruction between 1884 and 1890.
The castle serves as venue for the annual Nestroy Theatre Festival during summer months, bringing performances to its historical setting.
Visitors can reach the castle through guided tours departing from Maria Enzersdorf, with photography permitted only in exterior areas.
The structure gave its name to the Principality of Liechtenstein, as the ruling family owned this castle from 1140 until the 13th century.
