Burgruine Rauhenstein, Medieval castle ruin in Baden, Austria.

The Rauhenstein Castle ruins include preserved stone walls and a 20-meter-high tower perched on rocky cliffs above Baden city.

Built in the 12th century, Rauhenstein Castle underwent multiple destructions and reconstructions while protecting the route through Helenental valley.

Karl van Beethoven, nephew of composer Ludwig van Beethoven, attempted suicide at Rauhenstein Castle in July 1826.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a hiking trail starting at Hotel Sachers parking lot, requiring a 20-minute uphill walk.

The Villa Rauhenstein at the base of the castle belonged to Austrian composer Hugo Wiener before becoming an apartment building.
