Schloss Leiben
Austria
Schloss Leiben stands in the market town of Leiben in Lower Austria, the place that gave it its name. It looks like a single building, but it was made over a very long time. The source says the knights of Leiben built it around 1113 and lived here until 1332. In 1617 it was sold to Hans Christian Geyer von Osterburg, and the castle you see today took its shape under him. That 'around' on the founding date is worth keeping in mind: the beginning is approximate, and the outline you see is mostly a seventeenth-century answer to a much older site.
