Castle Neu-Wildon, Medieval castle ruins in Wildon, Austria

The castle remains stand on a 450-meter limestone hill, featuring defensive walls, a central courtyard, and remnants of a western gate system.

The structure, initially built in the early 13th century by the Lords of Wildon, served as a strategic fortress controlling the Mur River crossing.

The castle grounds contain archaeological findings from multiple periods, including artifacts from the Middle Neolithic period through the medieval era.

The castle site offers views across the Mur Valley and connects to hiking trails that lead through the surrounding Styrian landscape.

The fortress includes the preserved foundations of a 16th-century chapel and a water cistern carved into the rocky plateau.
