In my enthusiasm to share bird photos, I neglected the pretty Renaissance castle, Schloss Rosenburg! About an hours' drive northwest of Vienna in the state of Niederösterreich (capital: Sankt Pölten), it is not the "most beautiful" Renaissance castle north of the Alps (that honor apparently goes to Schloss Schallaburg); its claim is one of the "most visited" of Austria's castles.

Courtyards and shaded pathways are a requirement for a Renaissance castle.
The green outside the portico where the falconry display was presented, with a Tannenwald (fir forest) as the backdrop.
Castle touring. So much more enjoyable than running errands.
Rose gardens were an aromatic theme at the castle.

A window fit for a fair maiden to appear at, no doubt.

...and to snap one of us.
