Burg Plankenwarth, Medieval castle in Sankt Oswald bei Plankenwarth, Austria
The castle stands on Jägerberg Hill at 502 meters elevation, featuring an irregular trapezoid structure with a square medieval tower on its eastern side.
First documented in 1265, the castle belonged to the Plankenwarth family until 1430 when the Ungnad family inherited it through succession rights.
The structure incorporates both medieval defensive elements and baroque modifications from 1754, representing different architectural periods of Austrian nobility.
The castle requires advance arrangements for visits and can be reached by a three-minute walk from the designated parking area at coordinates N47°05.420 E15°18.520.
Between 1913 and 1954, the castle operated as a medical sanatorium after Dr. Ignaz von Scarpatetti purchased and renovated the partially ruined structure.
