Ich war vor über 35 Jahren als Bub mit meiner Familie in Österreich im Urlaub. Und damals war ich auch auf der Burg gewesen, ihren Namen habe ich nie vergessen und das Sie den ganzen Weg Bergauf sehr viele und verschiedene Tore hatte. Was glaube ich sehr einzigartig ist. Ich kann mich aber noch erinnern das in der Burg damals eine Lebensechte Nachbildung eines der damaligen Burg Vogten dort ausgestellt wurde. Die Figur war über 2m groß und er schien mir wie ein Riese zu sein. Leider habe ich in dem Video ihn nicht gesehen. Ob er nach über 35 Jahren noch immer dasteht. Der Name Hochosterwitz und der Riesige Burg Vogt sind für immer in meinem Gedächtnis geblieben.
Ich freue mich, Ihr Gedächtnis aufzufrischen!!! Ich freue mich auf einen weiteren Besuch. Ich werde das nächste Mal nach dem Gerichtsvollzieher suchen. Klagenfurt ist für uns ein besonderer Ort und bringt auch viele schöne Erinnerungen zurück.
It has been nearly 20 years since I visited this Hochosterwitz Castle. The video brings a new perspective to the stills I have of that visit. But even it pales in comparison to an in person visit. The public areas have been expanded and improved a lot. The extensive armaments shown in various rooms that appear to be open to the public were limited to a smaller sampling in 2002. No cannons were displayed. I did recognize a VERY large suit of armor that was there when I visited. seen about 5:13 in the video. There is an interesting story that the guide tells about that suit of armor. If you visit be certain you ask them about it. To truly experience this magnificent castle you need to walk the entry way path from the ground up. The way a visiting dignitary or invading a soldier would. It is not a fairy tale castle but a fortress that is stunning in both form and function.
That is so interesting,I would have never noticed, thank you for pointing that out. Can you tell me the name of who wore that suit? Or anything they told you about it.
Well at least it is being used and not wasting away very good ideas for restaurants and events another beautiful place of history but a useful building by using is taking care as the history lives on,bless you all!!! Thank you nice tour!!!!
Reminds of the one in Heidelberg. Back in 2004 I climbed all the steps straight up. Man that was exhausting and I was in good shape then. But the top was well worth it. Wish I'd seen this one!
I used to visit a lot of kastels with my parents when i was a kid. Schloss Neuswannstein is the one i will never forget for its beauty. Sadly i never visited this one, it is such a masterpiece!
Neuschwanstein isn't an original medieval castle, it was build in the 19th century from scratch. Hochosterwitz on the other hand was indeed already an medieval castle, some fortifications were added in the 16th century.
@@rizzochuenringe669 So it's not a medieval castle, so what. It's still awesome and fascinating. The construction and the art work, the grotto, the fountains. They are all so majestic. Definately worthy of royalty. Fit for a King. I visited Neuschwanstein when I was only 16 years old and I am 60 now. It made an impression on me that has lasted a lifetime. I hope to return to my beloved Bavaria one day. I consider it my adopted homeland. Hochosterwitz is stunning as well. So please don't try and start a debate on which one is better. They both have individual beauty and uniqueness. So one is older, big deal. That don't mean that it is better. It just means it's older. That's it.
They have the largest suit of armor I've ever seen. If the guy wasn't a lot least 7' tall I'm skinny? Really neat castle been 20 years since I was there.
Stunning castle. I did not notice any chimneys or fireplaces. Heat and light must have been provided by another source. Capturing and dissipating energy from the ether? Check out the era of Tartaria on TH-cam. 🤔
If you visit there, 120 miles to the east is another beautiful hilltop castle: Riegersburg. Both are fascinating, and both are surrounded by beautiful out-of-the-way countryside.
Today Hochosterwitz has 15 (!) gates to pass. Those days many people paid with their lives or health on one of the old 14 gates. Today people pay a way more moderate price on the 15th gate - and a not so painful one 😄 (by the way - the entry fee is absolutely ok. They have to keep that jewel in good conditions)
It appears larger on the outside, more of a fortress than castle imo. Interesting how the ceiling was built with sculpted logs affixed on the walls which had a large "shelf" to place the logs on both sides. The armory was also very packed, I wonder if that was really where they stored equipment or it's just where they found a place to display the weapons from various periods in history. Cool experience anyway.
eternitynaut. You crazy? The fortresses of the Romans were originally called CASTELLA and CASTELLUMS. In England a defensible building is a CASTLE, not a MANOR, in France a chateau-fort. (fortress). What you call a shelf for the beams is called a CORBEL.
It's the real-life Eyrie of the Vale! You know, the ancient Westerosi Castle, (and seat of House Arryn, one of the oldest lines of Andal nobility,) within the Vale of Arryn. Situated in the Mountains of the Moon on a shoulder of the peak known as the Giant's Lance, several thousand feet above the valley below. Although small compared to the seats of other Great Houses in Westeros, the Eyrie is considered impregnable to attack. During wintertime, the Arryns seek refuge against the cold in the Gates of the Moon at the base of the mountain. Enemies of the House often finding themselves locked up in the infamous Sky Cells. #TheVale 👍
Suggestion: Put the history at the beginning to give a better understanding of what is being shown. Regardless, I enjoyed your visual tour and it’s accompanying music. Thank you.
The family that owns the castle has a small palace at the bottom of the hill and they rent it out for events. The hotel owners where we stay in Klagenfurt are good friends with the family.
It's a very pretty castle and great scenery. I wish you would have told why these things were important and what part they played in what county's history. Thanks.
This is a visual story, it is meant to encourage you to discover more about this castle. There is a good historical synopsis at the end of the film. This isn't a history lesson, it is a visit to a monument to the past. Thank you for your comment. I hope you watched it to the end.
@@nehin It's obviously been 're-decorated' in the 19th century Reconstruction wave that made all these places look more or lesss the same throughout Europe. . So i don't know how much is still 'traditional ' .It's probably gas heated.
Dogs are welcome in Europe, they are cleaner than many people. In Europe, dog owners are very conscientious to clean up after their dogs, I lived in America, now Europe, it is better in Europe, we have dog bag stations for distribution and receiving the waste in most public areas. I guess you aren't aware of these? Dogs are great!
@@nehin i agree for the most part. the problem with LA and NY is that most of the population is itinerant- like, theyre from somewhere else and will end up going back to where theyre from after burning out their crowd here. because of this, they dont take ownership of their neighborhoods and everything gets litter and poop-ridden. im FROM LA and it bugs me. im very well-mannered too. im a friggin prince.
is it Celtic? I am a Celt. This castle is perfectly maintained, it is 1 of 2 this family owns. They live in the palace at the bottom of the mound this castle is built on. They are good friends of our hotel owner and the wife is an accomplished decorator.
1000 years old and the same family has owned it since 1576.

This is stunning.
Well if I ever find myself in Austria I would love to visit that place. Great castle, scenery and a great wealth of armor, guns and everything else.

Amazing. Thank you for sharing!! So beautiful and history!! Amazing 👏🏻
Nice video people! Danke shon. Groet uit Nederland.
What a wonderful walk in history! Thank you .
Amazing video..What a great castle, Thank you :)
WOOOOOOOOOOW 🤗 ABSOLUTELY SO INCREDIBLE PLEASE 🏰 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING US 💙💎🌎
Amazing castle and an interesting history description. Thanks for filming it. Thumbs up! :)
I saw other castles but this one is impresive

It is a fairy tale place thank you wonderful the place of dreams.!!
Nice Video! I see you can take your Schizten makers on a leash. I have two Schitzen makers myself.
Well done, beautiful. Thank you.
I would love to see that

That's a serious castle with 14 gates. Amazing.

Imagine being the carpenter that had to drag all that building material up there.
Es ist sehr schön. Hope kann eines Tages nach Österreich gehen!
It must have been annoying to live at a place like this back in the days. With hundreds of people walking around in your home looking at your stuff.
So nice there's no voiceover!

Cool experience anyway.
The family has an even older castle nearby with falcons, in the season you can watch the demonstration.
It's a castle in my mind. William The Conquerer had smaller castles than that built around Britain.

Stunningly beautiful ~ ❦︎ ~
Ok, now just imagine doing Door Dash to that place😵💫
What's the history of that one huge set of armor with a two handed sword at 4:22 ? That's one well equipped armory.
This is truly impregnable for the time. If I was the guy who made this. There would be tunnels.
There is an elevator today.
Amazing beautiful
lovely photography, i dont know If I got there. Id have to see my family notes
Craziest I evver saw! wow!
Dizzying array of fabulous historic items but just speeding through with no descriptions. Will have to research it online.
thank you for sharing!
The music is very nice, does anyone knows what is it call?
They made the castle so easy to over run! They put a lift in for the enemy!
Can you even imagine what it took to build it? For me, just changing my oil is a chore.
Impressive armory

Burgen sind einfach episch
Is the castle lived in?
Melted Building!!!
Nice video,were those paintings of Candice Bergen and Frank Vincent about halfway through,casue that was unexpected.
The style changes over the decades and generations, those are the owners today...
Suggestion: Put the history at the beginning to give a better understanding of what is being shown. Regardless, I enjoyed your visual tour and it’s accompanying music. Thank you.
That would not be the best approach. I have shot over thousands of commercials, we put the info at the end.
Long live white people, greatest creator's and innovators of all time
This castle needs an ornate wood-burning stove. The present perfunctory stove does the castle injustice.
Austria huh?? Well then, G'day mate! Lets put another shrimp on the barbie!!
Lol.. not much surf!
House on the hill for sure
All inherited ! Yes it was here long before us obviously 🙄😜
It should've been quite an effort to bring a grand piano there.
We will be going in April . We are in our sixties in so so shape . Is walking up difficult ?
The elevator makes it very easy, the walk down is worth it. Take your time. I am in my 60s, no problem. We love the region.
So there is cemtrails there also.
I would like to rent the place..for a week

Seit wann hat es einen Lift? :-) Ich war als Kind oft dort. Eine grossartige Burg.
Wow, someone needs a Gardener!
Smoke show
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Should be a zip line. Wheeeee!
Очень понравилось!
FOOD FOR THE SOUL.......... homeless sidewalk 'shack'?! (THANK YOU!!!)
Still did not tell me reason for the 14gates🤔🤔🤔😏🤗???!!
Must cost a lot to heat the place !
The owners, it is a tradition but styles change, sometimes not for the better...

Let's go back to this age.
Yeah, make Europe for the Europeans again.
Thanks for the medieval/trad music. I detest so-called "modern" music.
would have been a better vid. if you EXPLAINED what were viewing or the history of the castle
Did you watch the entire video? It is all there.
@@nehin no, after MANY mins of fairy music, and skipping forward i thumbs down and exited it SEEMED no was going to speak
Context would have been nice, along with some history.
A visual tour, if you have more interest discover Google. Thanks for watching, the boring stuff is at the end.
This is an advertisement. Apparently people ate in every room. At least post it as an ad.
❎. What was the commerce?
Import export what?
Water, gardens, food supply?
🤺💐
Timber, farming, livestock, and land.
Natural economy.
1579????? Wow!
Those roofs need work.

looks like edoras

Is this in Germany?
Klangenfurt , Austria
Ez nem a Korvin Jánosáltal épített kastély?
ja
Where is that?
Klagenfurt, Austria
And of course his story will say it was built in two year's
By the parasites
I get nervous from the camera!
It looks like Masons might've built that castle.
Why are you playing Celtic music in an Austrian castle video. I’d love to restore the castle
is it Celtic? I am a Celt. This castle is perfectly maintained, it is 1 of 2 this family owns. They live in the palace at the bottom of the mound this castle is built on. They are good friends of our hotel owner and the wife is an accomplished decorator.
@@nehin I'm Welsh, so a Celt too. This is a modern arrangement of Medieval music, and therefore appropriate for a castle I would have thought...

No need for the fish eye lense thanks tho
