Burg Seebenstein is a hilltop castle consisting of two parts: the old part with a round keep and a decayed palace from the 13th century, and the 'high castle' built between the 15 and 17th centuries. In the latter, there is a significant collection of weapons, marble sculptures and a chapel built in the corner.
