Burg Krems, Medieval castle ruins in Voitsberg, Austria

The castle complex includes a five-story keep with 2-meter-thick walls, an entrance gate with defensive tower, and a forecourt on a ridge near Kainach river.

The Archbishop of Salzburg commissioned the construction of Burg Krems in the 12th century, with the first written documentation appearing in 1248.

The castle association 'Krems in der Steiermark' maintains preservation projects and organizes educational activities for children within the medieval stone walls.

The castle ruins open to visitors twice annually on May 1st and October 26th, with additional visits available through scheduled appointments.

The hexagonal interior design of the keep represents a distinctive architectural feature among Austrian medieval fortifications of the region.
