Burgruine Fragenstein, Medieval castle ruin in Zirl, Austria
The stone walls and towers of Burgruine Fragenstein stand at 600 meters elevation, overlooking the surrounding Tyrolean landscape near Zirl.
The castle was established by the Counts of Andechs in the early 12th century to protect an important trade route through the Seefeld Pass.
In 1365, Parzival I of Weineck acquired the castle and constructed the keep, which later hosted visits from the minnesinger Oswald von Wolkenstein.
The castle ruins can be accessed via hiking trails that connect to the main pathways of Zirl, with information panels explaining the site's features.
During the War of Spanish Succession in 1703, Tyrolean troops deliberately destroyed the castle to prevent its capture by advancing Bavarian forces.
