Schloss Orth, Renaissance castle in Orth an der Donau, Austria.
The medieval fortress features four square corner towers, an irregular layout, and stands surrounded by water channels from the Danube River.
The castle, first documented in 1201, underwent reconstruction after Ottoman forces destroyed it in 1529 during their campaign toward Vienna.
The castle houses exhibitions about the Donau-Auen National Park, presenting local wildlife through interactive displays and underwater observation stations.
Visitors can explore the castle museum, attend events in the tournament courtyard, and observe fish behavior through the underwater viewing station.
The Renaissance spiral staircase, built around 1550 by court architect Johann Tscherte, represents an architectural innovation of its time.
