Burgruine Neu-Montfort, Medieval castle ruins in Götzis, Austria
The ruins feature a five-story residential tower with a high entrance on the northeast side and remnants of a former palace in the west.
The castle, constructed between 1311 and 1319 by the Counts of Montfort, was later acquired by the House of Habsburg in 1390.
Archaeological excavations in 2020 revealed decorated tiles from a 15th to 16th-century tiled stove, providing insights into medieval living standards.
The castle ruins, located at 513 meters above sea level, remain accessible for exterior viewing throughout the year under the management of Götzis municipality.
During the Appenzell Wars of 1405-1408, this fortress became one of few castles that the Appenzell forces occupied without destroying it.
