Michlsburg, Medieval castle in San Lorenzo di Sebato, Italy
The castle stands on a rocky hill at 956 meters above sea level, featuring two adjacent towers and walls surrounding a central courtyard.
Built in 1165, the fortress belonged to the Prince-Bishops of Brixen before passing to the Counts of Andechs, Gorizia, Tyrol, and Kunigl in 1678.
The castle served as a rural court where judges representing the Counts of Gorizia administered justice, including trials of religious dissidents.
The privately owned castle requires advance contact with the owners for potential guided tours or special openings to visit the structure.
The name Michelsburg derives from medieval German 'michel' meaning large or grand, rather than referring to Saint Michael as commonly assumed.
