Burgruine Staatz, Castle ruin in Staatz, Austria.
The medieval castle remains stand on a 100-meter limestone cliff, forming a prominent silhouette against the Laa Plain in Lower Austria.
The castle, first documented around 1130, served as a strategic fortress until Swedish forces captured and burned it during the Thirty Years' War in 1645.
The site represents medieval Austrian defensive architecture, with remnants of the first gate, parts of the great hall, and a Romanesque window still visible.
Guided tours of the ruins take place every Sunday at 3 PM from May through October, with special family tours occurring on the last Sunday of each month.
The rock stage at the base of the castle ruins contains 1,200 seats, making it one of Austria's largest outdoor theaters for summer musical performances.
