Schloss Ottenstein
Austria
Locals and signposts call it Schloss Ottenstein, but at heart it is a Burg, a hilltop castle, and you feel that the moment you see where it sits: on a rise above the Ottenstein reservoir in the Waldviertel of Lower Austria, within the market municipality of Rastenfeld. The two names are not a mistake so much as a summary of its life. It began as a medieval stronghold and was later dressed up as something gentler, and both layers are still on show.
