Forchtenstein Castle
The mighty walls of Forchtenstein Castle already defied the Ottoman conquerors. It is no coincidence that the Esterházy princes kept their war equipment and large parts of their legendary collections here. Today, here, at one of the oldest museum locations in Europe, an extensive arsenal as well as impressive rarities and works of art can be viewed with the castle ticket.
