A holiday in the heart
of the Wachau

A fairytale-like, historic ****hotel set amidst what is arguably Europe’s most beautiful unspoilt river landscape. Where memories of times long past, style and comfort make history.

The Wachau is one of Austria’s most impressive cultural landscapes. Nestled between the Danube, steep vineyard terraces, historic towns and rolling hills, this region has been shaped by nature, viticulture and history for centuries.

Richard Löwenherz

I am Richard I ‘the Lionheart’, patron of the house and probably Dürnstein’s first prominent guest – albeit not entirely of my own free will. Upon my return from the Third Crusade, I fell into the hands of Duke Leopold V of Austria, with whom I had fallen out in the Holy Land. Thus, my journey did not take me straight back to England, but to Dürnstein as a prisoner.
