Burgruine Rabenstein, Medieval castle ruin in Virgen, Austria
The Rabenstein castle ruins stand at an elevation of 1,410 meters on a wooded hill north of Mellitz district, covering 4,800 square meters.
Constructed around 1200, the castle served as the residence of Virgen's caretaker until the early 1700s, when it began deteriorating after abandonment.
The structure represents medieval Tyrolean architecture, featuring remnants of a chapel dedicated to St. Leonard, a keep, and defensive walls.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through hiking trails starting from Virgen-Dorf, with parking facilities available at Marin starting point.
Archaeological excavations at the site revealed Roman coins and jewelry, indicating human activity on Rabenstein hill before the medieval construction.
