Riegersburg

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

AirVuz contributor copter one brings us this excellent aerial view of a volcano-top medieval castle in Austria.  It's called Riegersburg Castle, and it sits atop a small inactive volcano in the southeastern state of Styria.  Dating to no later than the 12th century, the castle came to be of considerable strategic importance during the years when it sat near the boundary with the Ottoman Empire, with whom Austria was locked in mortal combat during much of the 16th-17th centuries.  It's now owned by the Princely Family of Lichtenstein.
