Burgruine Neu-Rettenberg, Medieval castle ruin in Kolsassberg, Austria
The rectangular stone fortress features remains of palace walls, defensive towers with gun ports, and protective ramparts positioned on the hillside.
Emperor Maximilian I transferred ownership of the castle to Knight Florian Waldauf in 1492, leading to its reconstruction using materials from Alt-Rettenberg.
The castle served as a judicial seat for centuries, handling local legal matters while capital crimes were addressed at the high court of Rottenburg.
Visitors can reach the ruins by following the road from Kolsass to Kolsassberg, where a small parking area provides access to the southern entrance.
The castle structure includes four corner roundels with cannon positions, installed as early as 1530, demonstrating advanced military architecture of that period.
