Hornstein Castle

Hotels near Hornstein Castle, Klagenfurt, Austria .

The Hornstein Castle sits in the middle of a fairytale. The area in which the castle calls home bears a founding story complete with a dragon.

Legend goes that Klagenfurt, Austria came to fruition when a brave man killed a lindwurm, a dragon haunting the area. A statue of the lindwurm sits in the town's main square.

The Hornstein Castle is idyllic just as Klagenfurt's foundations may be. The Castle is made up of two stories. Its origins go back to the 15th century.

Visitors can admire the architecture of the Hornstein, but not much else. The castle sits on private property. However, travelers can bask in its exterior, comprised of two diagonally placed round white corner towers, topped with conical roofs. A stone portal on the castle highlights a double coat of arms from the 17th century.

Aside from Klagenfurt's legends, there are several nearby attractions for those visiting the Hornstein Castle. One of Austria's most acclaimed castles, the Hochosterwitz, sits in close proximity. The Hochosterwitz is regarded as the ideal model of a medieval castle.
