Schloss Hernstein, Castle estate in Hernstein, Austria
The Schloss Hernstein stands at the northern edge of the Gutenstein Alps, encircled by black pine forests and an English landscape garden covering extensive grounds.
After serving as a hunting lodge for the Habsburg-Lothringen family, the castle underwent a 28-year renovation under architect Theophil Hansen to achieve its English Gothic style.
The garden features a staggered crenellated portal group with an ogee arch door, exemplifying the architectural elements that define Austrian castle design.
The castle houses 71 rooms and 3 suites in its modern guest annex, providing accommodation options for visitors seeking to experience the historical property.
The medieval defense tower behind the castle retains its original 12th-century rectangular windows, demonstrating the preservation of early architectural elements.
