Schloss Schwarzenau, Renaissance castle in Schwarzenau, Austria.
The four-tower castle features decorative stucco reliefs on its first and second floors, showcasing elements of earth, air, fire, and water.
Originally built in 1150 as Burg Swarcenawe by Pilgrim von Schwarzenau, the structure transformed into its Renaissance form between 1580 and 1592.
The castle chapel contains life-sized depictions of the twelve apostles arranged in pairs within wall niches, created during the eighteenth century.
Located 50 miles from Vienna near the Czech Republic border, the castle offers guided tours and maintains modern heating systems throughout its 15,000 square feet.
During the Cold War period, the castle incorporated a nuclear bomb shelter, which remains part of its architectural structure today.
