This gallery shows Forchtenstein castle, which is owned by the earls of Esterhazy. The earls of Esterhazy were the 2nd richest dynasty in the Middle Ages in Europe, behind the Habsburger, who were the emperor from Austria.
Forchtenstein castle contains a historic collection of art treasures and weapons from the Middle ages, mainly from the time when the Turks tried to conquer Europe.
From this time is also a painting from prince Dracula, who became a model for vampires, because of his vicious punishment of Turks.
