Burgruine Ortenburg, Medieval castle ruins in Baldramsdorf, Austria.
The stone fortress sits at 740 meters above sea level on the northern slope of Mount Goldeck, overlooking the Drava valley in Carinthia.
Built between 1070 and 1096 by Adalbert of Freising, the castle served as the center of power for the Ortenburg noble family until 1418.
The Ortenburg counts founded the town of Spittal in 1192 and maintained control over extensive territories throughout the Drava valley region.
Visitors can access the ruins through a marked path and combine their exploration with a stop at the craft museum located 200 meters from the site.
The fortress features two courtyards connected by drawbridges, with a Gothic outer bailey that shows the architectural evolution of medieval defensive structures.
