Schloss Riedegg, Medieval castle in Alberndorf in der Riedmark, Austria

The stone castle stands on elevated ground with a rectangular layout, featuring traditional Austrian architectural elements and defensive fortifications dating from various periods.

First mentioned in 1145, Riedegg Castle belonged to Gottschalk von Haunsperg before being donated to the Bishop of Passau as a strategic stronghold.

The Africa Museum inside the castle presents ethnographic collections including household items, weapons, jewelry, and religious artifacts from different African societies.

The castle functions as a venue for seminars, containing a school, guesthouse, youth hostel, and museum, allowing visitors to experience the building through multiple activities.

Turkish prisoners of war contributed to the castle's expansion in 1529 under Erasmus I von Starhemberg, adding new defensive structures to the medieval core.
