About: Forchtenstein Castle

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.

Imperial Treasury

In the oldest part of the Hofburg Imperial Palace you'll find perhaps the greatest treasury in the world. It holds gems, crowns, scepters, orbs, and regalia collected and hoarded by the Habsburg Empire over a period of more than 800 years. The items are visually stunning and historically significant. In fact, the actual Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire rests here. In addition to the worldly mementos of kings, queens, and emperors, there's also an ecclesiastical collection which features relics ascribed to various saints.
