Burgruine Pfannberg, Medieval castle ruins in Frohnleiten, Austria

The stone remains of Pfannberg Castle stand on a steep hill, with walls stretching across three sides of the wooded elevation.

The castle's construction started in the early 13th century when the Peggau lords required a larger fortress than their previous residence.

The castle chapel hosted eternal masses established by Hugo von Montfort, a minnesinger who served as Styrian regional governor in 1415.

The ruins underwent preservation work after 1958, making sections of the medieval structure accessible for current visitors.

The castle functioned as a chalk fire station during the late 16th century while already in a state of partial deterioration.
