THE CASTLE OF "HOCHOSTERWITZ"


"Hochosterwitz", probably the most beautiful
of the many castles which dot the Carinthian countryside.

THE PICTURES SHOULD REALY BE VIEWED
IN THE LARGER FORMAT:



A view from the Castle upon the surrounding area.


Isolated from the rest of the castle:
the home of the hangman - executioner.
He was feared as the bringer of bad luck
and was only allowed withing the walls of the castle
"to do his job"
