Burg Geiersberg, Medieval castle in Friesach, Austria
The Geiersberg Castle stands on an elevated terrain, featuring a Romanesque tower and a late Gothic chapel within its stone walls.
Built in 1130 by Duke Engelhard of Carinthia during a dispute with Bishop Hiltebold of Gurk, the castle served as a strategic fortification point.
The structure represents the architectural evolution from Romanesque to Gothic styles, demonstrated through its preserved tower and Sankt Anna Chapel.
The castle ruins remain open to visitors, with access available through Geyersbergweg 24 in the northern section of Friesach.
A 1912 reconstruction project altered parts of the castle, leading to subsequent modifications to restore its medieval appearance.
