Goldburg, Medieval castle ruin in Perschling, Austria
Goldburg is a castle ruin located in the municipality of Perschling in Lower Austria, with stone walls standing on elevated ground that overlook the surrounding area. The structure retains multiple sections of walls that showcase their original construction despite their deteriorated condition.
The castle was built in medieval times as a defensive position to monitor the borders of the region and maintain strategic control. Over the centuries it lost its importance and gradually fell into disrepair.
The ruins attract hikers who come to experience the quiet of the abandoned walls and take in the surrounding landscape. The site holds meaning for local people as a landmark that defines their region.
The best time to visit is from spring through autumn when the hiking paths are dry and easy to walk. It is wise to wear sturdy footwear and bring water, as the climb can be strenuous.
The ruin is protected as a heritage monument and remains an important site for studying medieval architecture in the region. Hikers often discover old stonework details that speak to the craftsmanship of its original builders.
