Schloss Seggau, Medieval castle in Leibnitz, Austria.
The stone fortress stands on a wooded hill at 344 meters elevation, providing views across the surrounding Styrian landscapes and town of Leibnitz.
Built in the twelfth century by the Archbishopric of Salzburg as a mission base, the castle expanded in 1218 under the bishops of Seckau's direction.
The castle contains a Roman-era lapidarium collection, preserving ancient stone artifacts that document the early settlement of this Austrian region.
Modern visitors can explore the 300-year-old wine cellar, participate in wine tastings, stay at the hotel, and attend conferences within the castle walls.
Three separate castles were constructed on this site: Burg Leibnitz, the Seckau bishops' castle, and Schloss Polheim, which merged into the current structure.
