Schloss Walkenstein, Medieval castle in Sigmundsherberg, Austria.
The rectangular early Baroque castle measures 56 meters by 46 meters and contains four single-story wings surrounding a central courtyard with round arches.
The castle, owned by the Babenberg family in 1074, passed to the Kuenringer family in the late 13th century and underwent reconstruction between 1660 and 1671.
The castle served as a noble residence and later became part of the Geras monastery, representing the evolution of Austrian aristocratic and religious architecture.
The castle structure includes a square tower with a tent roof in the west wing and features a main portal decorated with pilasters and inscription plates.
From 1893 to 1939, the castle operated as a cold water sanatorium with 30 rooms, treating patients until its closure at the start of World War II.
