Burgruine Kirchschlag, Castle ruin in Kirchschlag in der Buckligen Welt, Austria.

The stone remains of Burgruine Kirchschlag stand at 480 meters elevation, featuring defensive walls and a fire tower overlooking the Lower Austrian landscape.

Built in the 12th century, this fortified structure served as a strategic defense point along the border region of Lower Austria throughout medieval times.

The castle grounds host the traditional Kirchschlager Advent Market, bringing together local artisans, food vendors, and community members during winter celebrations.

Multiple hiking paths connect the castle ruins to Kirchschlag's town center, with marked trails leading visitors through the surrounding natural environment.

The fire tower functions as an observation point, offering views across the undulating terrain of Bucklige Welt, known as the land of a thousand hills.
