Liechtenstein Castle (Burg Liechtenstein) stands on a rocky hill at the edge of the Vienna Woods in Maria Enzersdorf, just south of Vienna. Built in the 12th century, it is the ancestral seat of the House of Liechtenstein, the family that later gave its name to the principality between Austria and Switzerland. The castle was damaged during the Ottoman sieges and restored in the 19th century in a romantic style. Today it is a popular spot for guided tours, walks and photos.
The castle is approximately 20 km from central Vienna. Here is how to get there.
Private transfer or car
By car the trip takes approximately 25-35 minutes, depending on traffic and your starting point in Vienna. There is parking near the castle, and a private transfer can drop you off close to the entrance path.
- Hotel pickup and direct drive to the castle.
- The driver can wait during your visit.
- Easy to combine with the Seegrotte, Mödling or Heiligenkreuz Abbey.

Train and bus
Take the S-Bahn from Vienna to Mödling, which takes about 15-20 minutes from the main stations. From Mödling, regional buses run towards Maria Enzersdorf and stop within walking distance of the castle. Overall, plan for around 45-60 minutes from central Vienna.
Walking from Mödling
Many visitors enjoy walking from Mödling to the castle. The route through the Vienna Woods takes approximately 30-45 minutes and passes forest paths and viewpoints. Good shoes are recommended, as some sections are steep.
Tips for your visit
The castle interior can usually only be visited on guided tours, so check opening times in advance.
The season is typically spring to autumn, and opening may be limited in winter.
Bring water and comfortable footwear if you plan to hike in the area.
The Seegrotte underground lake in Hinterbrühl is only a few minutes away by car.
