Weissenegg Castle, Medieval castle in Fernitz-Mellach, Austria.

The castle features three floors with approximately 40 rooms arranged around a square inner courtyard with columned arcades on each side.

First documented in 1284 under Chunrat von Thurn, the castle served as an outbuilding of Murberg fortification before becoming a standalone structure.

The west wing contains a hall decorated with wall paintings by F. Moser in 1784, representing the artistic preferences of that period.

The castle maintains its original architectural elements, including two towers, thick supporting walls, and a chapel dedicated to Saint John the Baptist.

The eastern tower of the castle was destroyed during the Turkish invasion of 1532, leading to significant structural modifications in subsequent years.
