Wildeneck castle ruins, Castle ruin in Oberhofen am Irrsee, Austria

The remaining stone structures of Wildeneck castle stand at 720 meters elevation on the eastern side of Koloman's hill between Mondsee and Irrsee lakes.

Built in 1140, Wildeneck castle operated as a governmental center for the regions around Mondsee and St. Wolfgang until its abandonment in the late 16th century.

The ruins maintain protected status as a Denkmalgeschütztes Objekt, representing medieval Austrian architecture and regional administrative structures.

The Wildeneck-Erlebnisweg trail leads visitors to the ruins, though access requires verification with the Mondsee tourism office at +43 6232 2270.

The castle ruins reveal the defensive positioning strategies of medieval builders, with views extending across both Mondsee and Irrsee lake valleys.
