Enjoy Riegersburg, a true marvel of southern Austria. Experience truly amazing views of the beautiful surroundings.

Once the strongest fortress in the west

Riegersburg myths, adventures and scary stories entwine around the impressive landmark of south-eastern Styria. Riegersburg Castle, which has never been conquered during its centuries of existence, was once considered the strongest fortress in the West. Today it is a popular destination for excursions. Perched on the towering basalt tufa rock of a former volcano, it offers a magnificent view over the surrounding gentle hilly landscape with the forests, vineyards, meadows and fields of the market town named after it.

In 1822, Riegersburg Castle passed into the possession of the Liechtenstein family, which still actively cares for its preservation today.
