★★★☆☆
Attribution: by Carlos Reusser Monsalvez Castillo de Rosenburg
Rosenburg is a castle that sits on a cliff above the valley of the River Kamp at an elevation of 345 metres above sea level. It is one of Austria's most visited Renaissance castles.
The castle is situated in the middle of a nature reserve park - the Naturpark Kamptal - which adds to its appeal. There are various castles and fortifications in Austria and Germany that bear the name "Rosenburg", but if people use the term without further specifications, it may be understood that they refer to this site in Lower Austria.
The well-known Austrian folk song "Es liegt ein Schloss in Osterreich" ("There is a castle in Austria") is often assumed to refer to the Rosenburg.
