Castle Alt-Wildon

The castle remains include a Roman tower with three preserved floors and sections of the original quadrangular wall construction from 1400.

Built by Hartnid von Riegersburg in the late 12th century, the castle was abandoned after the construction of Neu-Wildon in the mid-13th century.

The castle belonged to the Wildon family, who were among the oldest ministerial families in the region and maintained control through the Archbishop of Salzburg.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a 15-minute walk from the parking area near Am Schlossberg Nr. 11 via a forest path.

Archaeological excavations between 1985 and 1994 led to the preservation of remaining wall sections and uncovered evidence of fortifications from the 9th century.
