Burg Hauenstein, Medieval castle ruin in Kainach bei Voitsberg, Austria
The five-story keep of Burg Hauenstein stands on a rocky outcrop, with remaining stone walls and three preserved gates marking the fortress structure.
First documented in 1248, the castle served as a strategic point for the Archbishop of Salzburg before changing ownership through multiple noble families.
The castle complex holds a museum room established in 2015 that presents artifacts and information about medieval life in the Styrian region.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a marked hiking trail from Gallmannsegg, crossing a covered bridge over the former castle moat.
The castle includes defense embrasures from the 14th century and underwent restoration efforts by the Licht im Leben association starting in 1988.
