Burg Wiener Neustadt, Renaissance castle in Wiener Neustadt, Austria
The castle stands on wooden piles to stabilize its foundation on former marshland, featuring defensive towers and thick exterior walls at each corner.
The initial castle construction in 1193 was funded by the ransom money obtained from the capture of Richard the Lionheart during the Third Crusade.
St. George's Cathedral within the castle complex displays Gothic architecture and contains the tomb of Emperor Maximilian I of the Habsburg dynasty.
The Theresian Military Academy operates within the castle walls, providing education for Austrian military officers since its establishment in 1751.
The castle walls display the inscription AEIOU, placed by Emperor Frederick III, representing his personal motto throughout the medieval structure.
