Greinburg Castle, Grein

Wonderfully preserved castle. The nobility here are closely related to the kings and queens if England. Two unique features we saw were (1) a room with a very modern art ceiling created in 1491 and (2) a room completely covered in mosaics created sometime in the 1500's. I have attached some photos of these features. All in all, a wonderful place to visit for an afternoon.

It’s a beautiful castle with an unique style of architecture, really cultured and full of history. The one downside was the lack of English description for the nautical museum, I would’ve loved to read everything otherwise!

Great place to visit! A beautiful Castle in a small town, with beautiful architecture and the oldest theater in Austria.

Huge and interesting! It's a steep walk up to this operational castle (the owner "sort of" lives there) but we thought it was worthwhile. The large number of stag hunting trophies is impressive.

A gem. I wasn't expecting such cool features. There's an impressive black and white timbered courtyard lined with scores of antlers. The ground floor rooms have beautiful faceted stucco ceilings and an incredible room decorated floor to ceiling with tiny pebbles. Upstairs there's a ship museum with interesting historical ships of the Danube, and a great hall. Definitely worth a visit. Labels are in German but an English leaflet is available.
