Dürnstein with the imposing baroque tower of the monastery dominates the small medieval town’s skyline on the river Danube in Lower Austria, Austria. High above the town are the ruins of a medieval castle. This is where King Richard I Lionheart of England was reputed to have been held captive by Duke Leopold V of Austria after their dispute during the Third Crusade.
