Alt-Kainach Castle, Renaissance castle in Bärnbach, Austria
The castle structure incorporates a three-story rectangular design with a high gabled roof and includes a five-story defensive tower at its center.
Originally constructed in the 12th century as a simple farmstead, the castle received fortification additions including walls and a moat during the 14th century.
The castle chapel, dedicated to Saint Florian, resides in the southeastern wing's ground floor and received papal licensing from Pope Clement XII in 1737.
The Styrian Castle Association purchased the property in 1966 and established the Castle Museum, which opened its doors to visitors in 1972.
Between 1880 and 1966, the castle served as residential housing for mining workers, marking an unconventional period in its architectural history.
