Schloss Hartheim, Renaissance castle and memorial museum in Alkoven, Austria.
The stone castle features four corner towers, an inner courtyard, and exhibition spaces spread across multiple levels of the Renaissance building.
Between 1940 and 1944, the castle served as a Nazi euthanasia center where approximately 30,000 people with disabilities were murdered through lethal gas.
The permanent exhibition 'Value of Life' presents documents, photographs, and personal stories of victims who perished in the castle during World War II.
The memorial museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours available in German and English upon reservation.
The castle holds statistical records documenting the exact number of victims during the first phase of the T4 program between May 1940 and September 1941.
