Plankenstein Castle, Medieval castle and museum in Texingtal, Austria
Plankenstein Castle stands at 657 meters above sea level, featuring stone walls, towers, and a chapel within its fortified structure in Lower Austria.
The castle's construction began in 1453, and after facing structural challenges due to rock falls, engineers relocated it to its current position.
The interior displays ceramic works and terracotta figures created by artist Melanie Hell, adding artistic elements to the medieval architecture.
Guided tours of the castle occur twice daily at 10:30 am and 1:30 pm, allowing visitors to explore the historical rooms and exhibitions.
The castle includes a tournament arena connected by a reconstructed steel bridge from Melk, creating an outdoor space for events and activities.
