Burg Hollenburg, Medieval castle in Köttmannsdorf, Austria.

Burg Hollenburg stands on a steep rock hill above the Drau River, featuring Renaissance arcades and a Gothic chapel in its eastern wing.

The castle originated in the 12th century under the Lords of Hollenburg, documented from 1142, and underwent major renovations after earthquake damage in 1348.

The castle chapel contains Gothic frescoes from the 14th century and displays Roman stone reliefs throughout its courtyard, reflecting regional architectural heritage.

The Burghof courtyard and Söller terrace remain open to public access, providing views of the Karawanken mountains and hosting summer art exhibitions.

The castle structure incorporates natural caves within its vertical conglomerate rocks, which served as defensive positions and escape routes during medieval times.
