Burgruine Gutenstein, Castle ruin in Gutenstein, Austria
Positioned 90 meters above the Danube River, Burgruine Gutenstein features stone remains with a Romanesque round tower and outer bailey walls.
Duke Leopold VI constructed this stone castle between 1195 and 1220, which later passed from Babenberg control to Habsburg ownership in 1282.
The structure monitored strategic pass routes connecting Lower Austria with Styria, maintaining regional control through an established protective duty system.
The ruins stand on a steep rocky outcrop, requiring visitors to observe the remains from designated trails due to restricted climbing access.
The castle incorporates a two-story wall structure on an isolated rock formation at the meeting point of Schmeie River and Danube.
