Burgruine Senftenberg, Medieval castle ruins in Senftenberg, Austria.
The stone remnants of Burgruine Senftenberg stand at 271 meters above sea level, overlooking the Krems Valley and surrounding vineyards.
The castle's first documented mention dates to 1197 with Ruedeger de Senftenberc, followed by multiple ownership changes through centuries of Austrian nobility.
The structure holds protected monument status as a Denkmalgeschütztes Objekt, representing medieval defensive architecture in Lower Austria.
Visitors can access the ruins throughout the year without entrance fees, with approach paths available from both the Gothic church and town center.
The fortress served as a refuge during the 1529 Turkish invasions before Swedish forces under General Torstenson set it ablaze in June 1645.
