Rottenegg Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Sankt Gotthard im Mühlkreis, Austria
The castle stands at 473 meters elevation, featuring remaining walls and window frames with stucco decorations and original paint traces.
Built around 1289 to protect a trade route, the castle belonged to the Piber family until 1340 before passing to the Landenberg and Wallsee families.
The name Rottenegg connects to a local tale about a woman who committed infanticide and was walled up in a red-painted corner.
Located at Hofberg 14 in Sankt Gotthard im Mühlkreis, the privately owned ruins require permission from local authorities for visits.
The structure transformed from a four-story defensive tower into a residence with an onion dome during the 16th to 17th century conversion.
