Ruine Pflindsberg, Medieval castle ruin in Altaussee, Austria.
The stone remains of Pflindsberg Castle stand on a hill, featuring remnants of a defensive tower, northern palace walls, and fortification structures.
Archbishop Philip of Sponheim constructed the fortress in 1250 to protect salt mines and establish control over the Styrian Enns Valley region.
Local narratives tell of a black rider, representing the spirit of a criminal who perished within the castle walls during its time as a prison.
Visitors can access the ruins through a marked forest path starting at Hotel Tyrol, following signs to Rambichl through the Lichtersberg area.
The castle served multiple functions throughout its existence, transitioning from a defensive fortress to a prison and execution site in 1409.
