Burgruine Hardegg, Medieval castle ruin in Liebenfels, Austria.
The fortress stands on a rocky hilltop with two massive towers connected by residential buildings that enclose a small courtyard in Carinthia.
The castle, first mentioned in 1134 when Mengotus de Hardeche and his son Gotpoldus resided there, underwent multiple ownership changes until the 17th century.
The architectural elements combine Romanesque and Gothic styles, featuring signal windows, battlements, and a two-floor chapel within the stronghold complex.
The ruins remain closed to visitors due to safety concerns regarding potential stone falls and structural instability of the remaining walls.
From the upper levels, visitors can spot four mountains: Magdalensberg, Ulrichsberg, Veitsberg, and Lorenziberg, plus neighboring castles Hohenstein and Taggenbrunn.
