Castle Brunwald Courtyard

Storm lashes the exposed stone courtyard of Castle Brunwald in the Austrian mountains, where the battered Mercedes-Benz rolls to a halt beneath jagged gothic spires and flickering torchlight from iron gates. Rain sheets down, winds howl, and shadows deepen the gothic architecture, charging the air with tense foreboding as Indiana Jones steps out, his suspicions of Elsa sharpening amid this threshold to the castle's shadowed interior.
