Burgruine Kammerstein, Medieval castle ruin in Perchtoldsdorf, Austria.
The fortress stands at 420 meters above sea level, measuring 40 by 25 meters, with remaining walls reaching heights of 15 meters.
Otto II von Perchtoldsdorf constructed the castle between 1240 and 1250 after the destruction of his previous residence during noble uprisings.
The name Kammerstein reflects Otto II's position as chamberlain of Austria, linking the structure to regional administrative functions of medieval times.
Visitors can reach the ruins through a marked hiking trail from the parking area at Kaltenleutgebner Straße 141, requiring a 20-minute walk.
The castle featured a pentagonal keep with three-meter-thick walls that required ladder access, demonstrating advanced defensive architecture of the period.
