Waxenberg Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Oberneukirchen, Austria.
The castle ruins include a 30-meter round tower with 3-meter thick walls and a battery tower from the 16th century with defense windows.
The castle, first documented in 1146, controlled territory from the Danube to the Bohemian border until a lightning strike in 1756 caused a fire.
The Waxenberg cultural association organizes a biennial Knight Festival featuring medieval markets, fire shows, and historical performances at the castle grounds.
The ruins stand on a hilltop 30 minutes from Linz by car, with several walking paths leading to the site from different directions.
The main castle measured 885 square meters while the bailey covered 1260 square feet, though only the round keep remains fully intact today.
