Burgruine Mödling, Medieval castle ruins in Mödling, Austria.
The stone structures of Burgruine Mödling stand on a hilltop at 259 meters above sea level, overlooking the Mödlingbach Valley in Lower Austria.
Built in the mid-12th century as the largest Romanesque castle in Austria, measuring 175 by 80 meters, it served as the residence of the Babenberger family.
Archaeological excavations between 1965 and 1970 by the Mödling Museum Association revealed and preserved significant Romanesque architectural elements of the castle.
The castle ruins are accessible through multiple hiking trails of varying difficulty levels, with informative panels explaining the historical significance along the paths.
Medieval poet Walter von der Vogelweide spent several years at the castle, connecting this defensive structure to Austrian literary heritage.
