Haimburg Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Völkermarkt, Austria
The stone walls of Haimburg Castle stand on elevated rocky terrain, providing a view across the Carinthian landscape near Völkermarkt.
First documented in 1103 as Huneburch, the castle belonged to the Counts of Heunburg until 1322, when their male lineage ended.
The castle grounds now function as an open-air theater venue, hosting summer performances by the Heunburg Theater company since 2011.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through marked hiking paths, with the site located at coordinates 46.69235 latitude and 14.67009 longitude.
In 1990, a private initiative called Rettet die Heunburg began restoration work to stabilize and preserve the remaining castle structures.
