Burgruine Prägrad, Medieval castle ruin in Feldkirchen in Kärnten, Austria

The remains of Prägrad Castle stand on a rocky outcrop above Bleistatt, featuring walls from its original 12th-century construction and later 15th-century additions.

Initially sold to the Bishops of Bamberg in 1166, the castle changed ownership multiple times before becoming a possession of Habsburg Emperor Frederick III in 1456.

The name Prägrad originates from Slavic language, indicating its position as a fortification meant to serve as an outpost to a larger complex.

The castle ruins are accessible through local roads near Feldkirchen, with sufficient parking spaces available for visitors exploring the historical structure.

The medieval core structure includes distinctive stonework with plate-like orthostats at corner joints, demonstrating 12th-century construction techniques.
