Burgruine Kollmitz, Medieval castle ruins and museum in Raabs an der Thaya, Austria.

The castle ruins stand on a hill with two preserved towers, including the Hunger Tower and the Keep, offering views of the Thaya Valley.

Built in the 13th century, the castle served as a district court in the 14th century and remained under the control of Freiherr von Hofkirchen family until 1611.

The museum section displays artifacts from archaeological excavations and features documentation about topographer Georg Matthäus Vischer's life and work from 1628 to 1696.

The castle ruins and museum open daily from May to October between 10:00 and 17:00, with extended hours until 18:00 in July and August.

The castle's defensive position on the Austrian-Bohemian border made it a strategic fortress, with its architecture reflecting medieval military engineering principles.
