Kranichberg Castle, Medieval castle in Kirchberg am Wechsel, Austria
The stone castle rises on a hill southeast of Gloggnitz, featuring a three-story structure with an almost square floor plan and a five-story keep.
The Lords of Kranichberg established this fortress in the 13th century, serving as ministeriales for the Counts of Formbach and Pitten until 1352.
The castle underwent reconstruction in Baroque style following a fire in 1745, incorporating architectural elements from different periods of Austrian design.
The current owners plan to transform the interior spaces into a doll and toy museum, along with dedicated areas for art exhibitions.
During World War II, the castle provided accommodation for German resettlers from Dobruja before the Archdiocese of Vienna took ownership.
