Nestled in the Rosaliengebirge (Rosalia) mountain range, Forchtenstein Castle is a wonderful example of Middle Age fortification. Constructed for nobles in the 1400s, it now serves as a fascinating museum that shows off the wealth and power of bygone royals.
The castle has changed hands many times, including the House of Habsburg. It now rests – and has for many years – in the possession of the noble Hungarian Esterházy House.
