Ruine Oberwallsee, Medieval castle ruins in Feldkirchen an der Donau, Austria
The fortress stands at 365 meters above sea level, featuring high windows with seating alcoves and remnants of a three-story palace structure.
Construction began in 1364 under Eberhard V. von Walsee, and the castle received blood court privileges from Duke Albrecht V in 1415.
The castle's architecture represents a departure from traditional medieval designs by omitting a central tower in favor of more comfortable living spaces.
The lower castle section underwent reconstruction work between 1984 and 1995, making these areas accessible for current visitors.
The castle includes a preserved weight-operated defensive mechanism in its entrance area, known as the Wippkeller.
