Hardegg Castle, Medieval castle and museum in Hardegg, Austria.
The fortification stands on a rocky hill at 317 meters elevation, featuring stone walls, towers, and gates overlooking the Thaya River valley.
The castle's foundations date to 1140 when Otto von Hardegg established it as a border fortress between Austria and Moravia.
The museum section displays artifacts about Emperor Maximilian of Mexico, presenting collections that connect European and Mexican history.
