One of the most impressive castles of Austria rises on top of a hill just half an hour northwest of Vienna.However, in 1645 the gorgeous castle with all its spires, murals and pinnacles was completely destroyed by the Swedish army in the course of the 30 years’ war. At the end of the 19th century a millionaire decided to rebuilt the castle true to the original and with incredible attention to detail. The eccentric millionaire imported original components and intriguing exhibits from all over Europe. There are gothic balconies from Slovakia, roman sculptures depicting lions from Venice and medieval skewers complete with a propeller drive.

Several of my photos are available for purchase in larger format at Shutterpoint
What a sweet shot! The dark stones and roof tiles against the intense blue of the sky are stunning. Do you have a landscape of the entire castle?

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY

I must confess I've had this one on my desktop for a little while now, I just didn't have the time to comment. I think this is absolutely my favourite image of yours so far Sabine. The angle, composition and colour are all brilliant and the castle just has so much character. I'm so glad it was rebuilt (thanks for the great history by the way:) and I'm so very very glad you took such a great photo and shared it with us. I love it!
