The castle is prominently situated on a rock on the right bank of the Danube, above the municipality of Persenbeug-Gottsdorf, at the transition from the Strudengau to the Nibelungengau.

Booking a guided tour here is definitely worthwhile. A room entirely covered in mosaics made of Danube pebbles or the diamond vault are truly impressive. That alone is worth it.

The beautiful courtyard, the diamond vault, and the Mosaic Room (made entirely of small pebbles) are definitely worth a visit. Individual rooms can be explored independently, while the state rooms are only accessible with a pre-booked guided tour.
