Original Steel engraving, printed & published 1860 in Triest at the Austrian Lloyd. Engraved by Willman after a sketch by Rudolf Alt. Beautiful view of the town of Grein with the castle in the background. In the foreground rafters on the Danube and figurative staffage. Grein is a municipality in the district Perg in the Austrian state of Upper Austria. It lies on the Danube River. One attraction in Grein is Greinburg Castle, built between 1488 and 1493. The castle was purchased by Ernest I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in 1823 and is now owned by a family foundation, headed by Andreas, Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. The ducal family is living here but the castle is also open for visitors.
