Burg Neudenstein, Medieval castle in Völkermarkt, Austria.
The stone fortress stands on a rocky elevation above the northern bank of the Völkermarkter reservoir, offering views of the Karawanken mountains.
Duke Heinrich authorized Land Marshal Konrad von Aufenstein to construct the castle in 1329, making it one of the few castles with a documented foundation date.
The castle features a baroque arcade courtyard from the 17th century, decorated with Roman emperor busts and paintings depicting the falls of Icarus and Phaethon.
The property includes parking facilities and connects to the Drauradweg cycling path, which runs directly beneath the castle grounds.
Local residents refer to the structure as the Black Castle due to its dark stone walls, while ancient documents named it Neydenstein.
