Burg Freiberg, Medieval castle ruin in Frauenstein, Austria.
The stone remains of Burg Freiberg stand on a hill in Carinthia, featuring walls and foundations that outline the original medieval structure.
First documented in 1181, the fortress belonged to the dukes of Carinthia and served as a residence for the regional court under Duke Bernhard von Spanheim.
The castle ruins present architectural elements from the Romanesque period, reflecting the building techniques and defensive strategies of medieval Austrian fortifications.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through marked hiking trails that lead from the village of Frauenstein to the elevated position of the fortress.
The castle's position offers views over the Carinthian landscape, with remaining structures indicating the original three-level design of the medieval fortification.
