Burgruine Steinschloß, Medieval castle ruin in Neumarkt in der Steiermark, Austria.
The Steinschloss fortress stands on a steep rock formation at 1180 meters elevation, featuring remnants of five defensive towers and Gothic vaults.
Built in the 12th century by the von Stein family, the castle changed ownership to the Abbey of St. Lambrecht in 1503 through a sale by the Liechtenstein nobles.
Regional legends connect the castle to Charlemagne's son Engelschalk, who supposedly constructed the fortress after victories against Hungarian and Avar forces.
The ruins remain accessible daily from 6:00 to 22:00, with guided tours available through advance reservations at specific contact numbers.
The castle association maintains a mountain hut beneath the ruins, serving local food from May to October and offering accommodation for overnight stays.
