Description

The Heimenburg (or “Hainburg”) is the ruin of a hill castle above the town of Hainburg an der Donau in Lower Austria.

According to legend it takes its name from Heimo, the cupbearer of Arnulf of Carinthia, who commissioned him to build a church and a castle (originally in present-day Bad Deutsch-Altenburg).
