Burg Finstergrün, Medieval castle in Ramingstein, Austria
Burg Finstergrün stands on a steep rocky outcrop at 1080 meters altitude, overlooking the Mur Valley in the Lungau region of Salzburg.
Built around 900 CE as a customs station, the castle received its first written mention in 1139 and underwent reconstruction between 1901 and 1908.
The castle hosts medieval festivals, summer camps, and educational projects while serving as a youth hostel managed by the Evangelical Youth of Austria.
The castle opens from May to mid-October, with interior access limited to guided tours and overnight guests seeking accommodation in its rooms.
Count Sándor Szápáry and his wife collected valuable historical furnishings from Central Europe to decorate the castle's interior spaces.
