Schloss Gleichenberg, Medieval castle ruin in Bad Gleichenberg, Austria.
The castle structure contains two moats, remnants of main walls, basalt ashlar masonry, and remains of a tower within the ring wall.
The Lords of Wildon-Riegersburg built the castle, which King Ottokar owned in 1269 before its acquisition by the Counts Trauttmansdorff from 1581 to 1945.
The castle grounds hosted judicial proceedings during medieval witch trials, marking a dark period in regional legal and social practices.
The castle ruins remain under private ownership by the descendants of the Counts of Trauttmansdorff, specifically the family of Dr. Johannes Stubenberg.
Artillery fire in 1945 during World War II caused extensive damage to the castle, followed by a devastating fire in 1983 that destroyed the Hexenturm.
