Schwertberg
After 2 planes and a car I have arrived in Schwertberg. Schwertberg is a small village town in the state of Upper Austria. Though it is a small place, it is not short of characters and flavor. Here you will find local specifics as well as the standard wiener schnitzel.
Upon my arrival I was quickly introduced to the infamous Austrian winter. However, I believe it is still just as charming during winter as it is in the spring.
Let us begin at the kirche (church). It is at the center of the village. Next to the church in Schwertberg is a small memorial to those soldiers that were killed in the line of duty during WWII. Upon entering the cathedral one can take in the beautiful structures that stand at the alter. The view is best from above where the organ is also able to be seen.
Further down the way you will find the schloss (castle). This castle was first built in medieval times and still stands today. It has been owned by the Hoyos family since 1911.
Auf wiedersehen!
