Burgruine Stauf, Medieval castle ruins in Haibach ob der Donau, Austria
The castle remains stand at 531 meters above sea level, featuring a hexagonal tower, palace structure, and outer bailey with quarrystone walls.
The first documentation of the castle dates to 1125 when Wernhard de Stove owned it, followed by several noble families through centuries of occupation.
The Germanic name Stauf derives from ancient language terms referring to a cup without a foot, reflecting regional linguistic heritage.
