Prandegg Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Schönau im Mühlkreis, Austria.

The castle extends over 150 meters along a hilltop between two valleys, featuring a 23-meter-high round tower and remaining fortification walls.

First documented in 1287, the castle changed ownership multiple times until 1823 when it became property of the Dukes of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.

The name Prandegg originates from local dialect terms referring to forest clearing by fire and the presence of large rock formations.

The ruins remain open to visitors at no cost, with a nearby tavern offering meals and sleeping cabins for extended stays.

The castle grounds cover 2,435 square meters at 705 meters above sea level, with the main structure occupying 1,490 square meters.
