Burgruine Straßfried, Castle ruin in Thörl-Maglern, Austria.
The castle stands on a rocky ridge extending from east to west, with steep northern slopes and moderate southern inclines near the Austrian-Italian border.
The Bishops of Bamberg constructed this fortification in the first half of the 13th century, with first written records mentioning it as Castrum Strazvrid in 1279.
The rectangular keep features a combination of structured masonry with hammer-dressed stones and layered rubble stonework, reflecting medieval construction techniques.
The castle grounds contain a 50-meter-long and 15-meter-wide courtyard, surrounded by ring walls that connect to the rectangular keep at the eastern edge.
French forces during the Napoleonic Wars caused substantial damage to the fortress in 1797, leaving only the eastern tower of the original twin-tower structure standing.
