Burgruine Luftenberg, Medieval castle ruins in Luftenberg an der Donau, Austria
The remaining stone walls and fortified sections of Burgruine Luftenberg stand on a hill overlooking the Danube River opposite the Traun river mouth.
The castle belonged to noblewoman Liutgard in 1125, and significant parts were dismantled in the late 16th century to construct the adjacent Schloss Luftenberg.
The fortress played a role in regional salt trade routes between Austria and Bohemia, controlling important commercial pathways along the Danube River.
Visitors can find the castle ruins at Am Luftenberg 1, with the structure listed as monument number 1736 in the Austrian heritage protection registry.
The strategic position of the castle allowed its inhabitants to collect wine taxes from ships traveling on the Danube until this practice was later prohibited.
