Rosenburg Travel Guide

 globetrott Says:  The Marbleroom is another great room with wonderfull ornaments on the ceiling and a floor, totally covered by marble - quite expensive and unique for a castle built in the 16th century.This room may be rented as well for private parties and is also used for concerts at... 

 globetrott Says:  Take a closer look to the great wooden ceiling of the library.All rooms of the castle may be rented for your festivities, weddings, birthday-parties ect.Just imagine to celebrate your event within such historic walls ! 

 globetrott Says:  The most precious and beautiful part of the library is certainly the wooden ceiling with great ornaments and paintings.I took this pic with my extreme wide-angle-lens of 17mm - that way the edges are rounded a bit, but at least you see the whole ceiling on one pic, when you... 

 globetrott Says:  Driving to Rosenburg by your private car is certainly the easiest and quickest way. It might also be around 1,5 or 2 hours from Vienna. ( NO highways unfortunately )That way you may also drive up the hill and park directely in front of the castle on a really large parking,... 

 globetrott Says:  Watch out, when walking through the park and terraces of Rosenburg.You might walk through an arch - like I did - and stand in front of such a large bird all of a sudden and unexpected...The birds are used to visitors, but not every visitor is used to the birds...;-)) 

 globetrott Says:  As you may see on that advertisment, falconry - performances are held quite often during the summer.Falconry was a traditional way of hunting, that was praticed in almost every castle. 

 globetrott Says:  This is one of the great wooden doors inside the museum of Rosenburg.When you click on my picture, you may see the great craftsmenship for making the locks and the fixtures of the door .The material is at least partly silver.The " rounded edges " of the picture are the only... 

 globetrott Says:  There is also a great collection of medieval costumes displayed in the museum of the castle.The room is so small, that I had to use the fish-eye-converter in order to catch it all.Have a look also for the great wooden ceiling ! 

 globetrott Says:  In the basement of the castle there is a small museum that shows the same kind of sandstone-dwarfs, as they were very popular in the time of the 17th century.When you click on my pic, you may see it on the left.In Salzburg / Mirabellgarten you may see a big group of that... 

 globetrott Says:  This lovely old door is a side-entrance to the castle and it was unfortunately locked.But somehow I always love to see these old masterpieces of architecture, made so plenty of centuries ago without any modern machines and knowledge.Simply ask your local carpenter to make... 

 globetrott Says:  Watch out for the beautiful and precious old furniture, when walking through the castle.These 2 chairs date back to the 17th century, and are to be found in the entrance hall to the library. 

 globetrott Says:  Take a look down the castle-terrace - there is the small river " Kamp " down in the valley, another obstacle for enemies approaching the castle of Rosenburg.And the panorama is quite spectacular from up there, even if I took this pic with my 17mm wide-angle-lens.The old... 

 globetrott Says:  On the 2nd floor of the castle you may take a look from the great Renaissance-balcony of the castle.This balcony may also be used for your party, when you rent it for a festivity. 

 globetrott Says:  There are quite a lot of birds waiting to be part of the falconry-performances.These birds will mostly sit silently in the niches of the 3rd court and you might pass by them easily, as they are all fixed with a chain.Be careful anyway !! 

 globetrott Says:  Here on my pic you may see, how high above the Kamptal ( valley of the small river Kamp ) castle Rosenburg was built.That way it was easy to see most enemies already when approaching the castle.Today you simply take the road through the mountains to drive up to the castle.In...
