Ruine Kaja
Austria
Kaja is a ruin that sits on a jurisdictional seam. The hilltop castle stands north of the village of Merkersdorf, on the Kajabach stream and a little back from the Thaya, the river that marks the border here. The surrounding country counts as the Waldviertel, yet the site belongs administratively to the district of Hollabrunn in the Weinviertel. It lies within the Thayatal National Park, and the Czechs have their own name for it, Chýje. Standing here, you are in a place that has always belonged to more than one map.
