Greifenstein Castle sits atop a rocky outcrop above the Danube River, offering impressive views of the surrounding area. It was probably built in the 11th century by the Bishopric of Passau and first documented in 1135. Over the centuries, the castle has experienced numerous sieges, destruction, and reconstructions, including its capture by the Turks in 1529 and its restoration in the Romantic style in the 19th century. The complex consists of a mighty keep, a palace, and a chapel, complemented by Gothic-inspired windows and a viewing terrace. Today, the castle is privately owned and not open to the public, but remains a popular destination for cycling tours, offering magnificent views of the Danube and the surrounding area.
