Schloss Bleiburg, Medieval castle in Bleiburg, Austria
The castle stands on an elevated hill at 527 meters above sea level, featuring a Renaissance architectural design with prominent towers and fortified walls.
The castle, first documented in 1228 as Pliburch, served as the seat of the Counts of Heunburg until 1322 when it passed to the Aufenstein family.
The library on the second floor contains an early Baroque coffered ceiling and three doors from the 17th century decorated with intricate inlay work.
The castle remains under private ownership of the Thurn-Valsassina family, with selective areas accessible through guided tours upon advance reservation.
The castle chapel, dedicated to Saint Paul, incorporates Gothic architecture with a Baroque cross-vault ceiling and a polygonal choir section.
