Burg Rastenberg, Romanesque hilltop castle in Rastenfeld, Austria
The five-sided keep of Burg Rastenberg rises 27 meters above a narrow granite outcrop with two small inner courtyards and a forecourt.
Construction of Burg Rastenberg began in 1193 as part of a defense system along the Kamp River, connecting with castles Ottenstein and Lichtenfels.
The castle represents a prime example of Romanesque architecture in Lower Austria, maintaining its medieval structural elements through centuries of modifications.
The castle remains in private ownership by the Thurn-Valsassina family, with the baroque forecourt available for holiday rentals throughout the year.
The eastern section contains a late baroque manor house that now functions as office space and guest rooms for the seminar center Die Lichtung.
