Burgruine Mollenburg, Castle ruin in Weiten, Austria.
The fortress spans across 120 by 60 meters of terrain on a 40-meter-high ridge with steep slopes on three sides and includes a square main castle.
First documented in 1303, the castle belonged to the Lords of Werd-Capellen in the mid-13th century and underwent destruction during a nobility uprising against Duke Albrecht I.
The structure contains architectural elements from different periods, including a Romanesque core, Renaissance features, and a Gothic kitchen that remains partially intact.
The castle grounds remain in private ownership by the Mauthe family, requiring visitors to obtain permission before exploring the medieval fortification remains.
The urn containing the remains of Jorg Mauthe, who purchased and partially restored the ruins in 1972, rests within the tower of the old castle.
