Burg Ehrenfels, Medieval castle ruins in Sankt Radegund bei Graz, Austria.

The rectangular stone keep of Burg Ehrenfels measures 18.50 by 14.00 meters with walls reaching 1.70 meters in thickness at 481 meters elevation.

Otto II von Graz, a ministerial of the Babenberg dynasty, constructed Burg Ehrenfels at the beginning of the 13th century to control the Roman road.

The castle represents the architectural and military engineering capabilities of medieval Austrian nobility through its strategic position and construction methods.

Visitors can freely access the castle ruins throughout the year and explore the remaining structures at the foot of Schöckel mountain.

The castle maintained its original defensive purpose until 1449 when Hans von Stubenberg acquired it and transferred administrative functions to Stubegg and Gutenberg.
