Burgruine Zelking, Medieval castle ruin in Zelking-Matzleinsdorf, Austria.
The castle remains contain massive stone walls from the 12th to 16th centuries, featuring a round-arched gate and several arrow-slit windows.
First mentioned in 1100 in connection with Werner von Zelking, the castle served as headquarters for the Zelking noble family for five centuries.
The fortress represents the architectural evolution of medieval defensive structures, reflecting changes in military and residential requirements over centuries.
