Burgruine Glanegg, Castle ruin in Glanegg, Austria

The medieval castle ruins stand atop a hill in the Glan valley, displaying remnants of stone walls and a round tower structure.

First documented in 1121, the castle belonged to Duke Henry III of Carinthia and later passed through multiple noble families until King Ferdinand I in 1534.

The castle represents a significant example of medieval military architecture in Carinthia, ranking as the third largest fortification in the region.

Visitors can access the ruins without entrance fees or guided tours, making it an accessible destination for history enthusiasts throughout the year.

The castle survived Turkish invasions between 1473 and 1478, maintaining its structural integrity despite numerous threats during this turbulent period.
