Eschenlohe Castle, Medieval castle ruins in St. Pankraz, Italy.

The stone remains of Eschenlohe Castle stand at the intersection of Rio Fratta and Valsura rivers, high above the Ulten Valley landscape.

First documented in 1163 as Ulten Castle, the structure served as the residence for local earls before passing to the Counts of Trapp.

The castle's architecture reflects South Tyrolean defensive construction methods, with its remaining donjon and wall sections marking medieval engineering practices.

While the castle interior remains closed to visitors, the exterior can be viewed through a hiking trail starting from St. Pankraz village.

The castle name derives from the Eschenloher family and 'Loach,' referring to the deciduous forest that surrounds the fortification.
