Bernstein Castle, Medieval castle and hotel in Bernstein im Burgenland, Austria.

Built at an elevation of 615 meters, Bernstein Castle features Gothic architecture with solid stone walls and a natural garden within its fortifications.

The castle's first defensive structures date back to the 12th century, serving as a stronghold that withstood multiple sieges from Turkish forces in 1529 and 1532.

The castle gained international recognition through its former resident László Almásy, whose life story influenced the Academy Award-winning film The English Patient.

The castle operates as a hotel from April to October, offering nine individually decorated rooms and guided tours at 11:00 AM from Wednesday through Sunday.

The property maintains a wine collection featuring Austrian varieties and Eastern European selections, including Grüner Veltliner, Zweigelt, Furmint, and Tokaj Aszú.
