Liechtenstein Castle (German: Burg Liechtenstein) is a castle near Maria Enzersdorf in Lower Austria, bordering Vienna. It is on the edge of the Wienerwald (Vienna Woods). Liechtenstein (German for "bright stone") Castle is the eponymous ancestral seat and place of origin of the House of Liechtenstein, the ruling family of the Principality of Liechtenstein. The family owned the castle from the middle of the 12th century until the 13th century, and again from 1808 to the present. The progenitor Hugo von Liechtenstein (d. 1156) built Liechtenstein Castle around 1122-36 on a fief that he received from the Babenberg margraves of Austria. Liechtenstein castle, originally started with a tower, but probably immediately expanded into a larger palace complex during the 12th century, came into the Stadeck family as a result of the marriage of a daughter in 1195. Since Albert IV, Duke of Austria, the castle has been pledged to various families. It was destroyed by the Ottomans in the siege of Vienna in 1529, and again in the Battle of Vienna in 1683.
