Burg Stein im Drautal, Medieval castle in Dellach im Drautal, Austria

The stone fortress stands 200 meters above the Upper Drau Valley on a steep rock formation at the northern slope of Jauken mountain range.

First documented in 1190 under Haidenrich de Lapide, the castle changed ownership from Counts of Gorizia to Habsburgs and finally to Orsini-Rosenberg family in 1681.

The castle features a double chapel in its northeast corner, containing two Romanesque chapels from the 15th century with carved statues and vault paintings.

The castle remains in private ownership under the Orsini-Rosenberg family, with limited public access during specific times of the year.

The square keep, measuring 15 meters in height, stands separated from the main palace and now functions partially as an observation tower.
