Some castles weren’t just built to impress — they were built to survive.
Across Europe, a few legendary fortresses stood firm against wars, invasions, and centuries of conflict.

Eltz Castle in Germany has remained in the same family for over 850 years, surviving major European wars and even Napoleon’s armies without ever being destroyed. Hohensalzburg Fortress in Austria, founded in 1077, is one of Europe’s largest medieval fortresses and has never been taken by military force in over a thousand years. Rappottenstein Castle in Lower Austria withstood multiple sieges by armies and rebellious farmers, preserving its medieval architecture almost perfectly. Meanwhile, Sweden’s Alvsborg Fortress successfully repelled repeated Danish attacks, protecting the nation’s western coast during the Kalmar Union wars.

These castles were more than stone and walls — they were symbols of power, strategy, and resilience.
Unconquered. Timeless. Legendary.
