Burg Waldstein, Medieval castle ruin in Deutschfeistritz, Austria.
The rectangular fortress contains extensive wall remnants, including a triangular tower on the western side and a three-part residential building within its perimeter.
First documented in 1152 as 'castrum waldstein', the castle passed through several noble families until Ruprecht von Windischgraetz acquired it in 1436.
The castle complex includes remnants of a Romanesque Marian chapel and a five-story main tower with irregular rubble stone masonry and two-meter-thick walls.
Located 5 kilometers northwest of Deutschfeistritz, the site requires a 30-40 minute walk from the parking area on Arzwaldgrabenweg via L385.
The castle's primary function involved securing crossings over the Gleinalpe into the Upper Murtal region during medieval times.
