Burgruine Peggau, Medieval castle ruins on a steep cliff in Peggau, Austria

The fortification displays a rectangular keep with preserved cross vaults and a large ring wall positioned above the Mur Valley exit.

The castle, constructed in the 12th century by the Lords of Peggau, was destroyed in 1270 during a revolt against King Ottokar II.

The castle includes a chapel dedicated to Saint Lucia, first documented in 1404, representing religious architectural elements of medieval Austrian fortifications.

Visitors can reach the ruins through Mittereggstraße, with a parking area located at the curve near the castle entrance.

The current tenant has constructed a wooden frame structure within the castle courtyard while undertaking restoration work of the cobblestone pavement.
