We just learned about Spiš Castle.
Another famous ancient castle is Hohensalzburg Fortress, built around 1000 AD in Salzburg, Austria.
This castle is over 800 feet long and about 500 feet wide, and up over 1,600 feet high on top of a tall hill.
It ws used as a home for some powerful political people, and as a prison during wars.
Inside the castle are many rooms and a courtyard.
One of the rooms has a huge musical organ with more than 200 pipes, called the Salzburg Bull.
One of the fanciest rooms is called the Golden Chamber, which has golden decorations all over it.
