The Heimenburg (or "Hainburg") is a ruin of a hilltop castle above the town of Hainburg on the Danube in Lower Austria .
According to legend, it takes its name from Heimo, the cupbearer of Arnulf von Kärnten , who commissioned him to build a church and a castle (in today's Bad Deutsch-Altenburg ).
In 1042 this castle in Bad Deutsch-Altenburg was built by Heinrich III. destroyed. The chronicler Hermann von Reichenau called the "Heimenburg (Hainburg) and Brezesburg ( Pressburg ) very populous cities".
Emperor Heinrich III. decreed around 1050 at the Nuremberg Congress to rebuild the Heimenburg on the Schlossberg in today's Hainburg an der Donau . It was destroyed during the 2nd Turkish siege in 1683. After 1742, due to the construction of the new castle at the foot of the castle hill, the castle fell into disrepair.
