Burg Vichtenstein, Medieval castle in Vichtenstein, Austria.
Burg Vichtenstein rises 531 meters above sea level, positioned on a hill that overlooks the Danube valley in Upper Austria.
The castle, constructed around 1100, functioned as an administrative center for the Bishopric of Passau before passing to the counts of Schauberg.
The architectural design of Burg Vichtenstein represents the medieval construction methods and defensive strategies employed in Austrian fortifications.
