Burg Liechtenstein, the ancestral castle of the Princes of Liechtenstein

On a rock on the outskirts of Mödling, at the edge of the Vienna Woods, stands the castle that gave its name to the House of Liechtenstein, the family that reigns in the small principality between Switzerland and Austria. Medieval in origin and rebuilt in the 19th century, it can only be visited with a guide, on one-hour tours that leave on the hour: from April to September, from 10:00 to 16:00 every day except Wednesdays; from October to March, Friday to Sunday from 11:00 to 15:00. It was already shown to visitors in 1812. On Sundays there is a tour for children, with a climb up the tower. It closes from the fourth Sunday of Advent to 6 January.
