Burgruine Altrosegg, Medieval castle ruin in Rosegg, Austria.

The stone remains of Burgruine Altrosegg stand on a hilltop at 478 meters above sea level, overlooking the Rosental valley in Carinthia.

First mentioned in documents from 1239, the castle served as the residence of the noble Ras family until 1318, when foreign nobles took control.

The castle ruins represent medieval architectural heritage, with the remaining keep structure demonstrating defensive construction methods from the 12th century.

The ruins are located within the Rosegg animal park grounds, allowing visitors to combine historical exploration with wildlife observation during their visit.

Materials from the castle walls were reused in 1806 to construct the tower of Rosegg parish church after the French military occupation.
