Burg Schrofenstein, Medieval castle ruins in Stanz bei Landeck, Austria.

Burg Schrofenstein is a castle ruin on a rocky spur at 1122 m above sea level, east of Stanz bei Landeck above the Perjen district of Landeck. Only the 12-metre-high bergfried remains, renovated by its private owner; about 50 metres below are remnants of a stable, and the economic yard lay farther toward Stanz.

The castle was first held by ministeriales from Chur before passing to the Tyrolean Schrofenstein family, whose line ended in 1546. It then belonged for a long period to the counts and princes of Trautson. It also served temporarily as a court seat. Decay set in during the second half of the 19th century.

The castle was temporarily a court seat, then the seat of the Chur ministerials, and later the ancestral castle of the Tyrolean Schrofenstein family until their extinction in 1546. The name Schrofenstein refers to the rocky spur (Schrofen) on which it stands. Visitors can spot the restored 12-meter bergfried and the remains of a stable about 50 meters below the main ruin.

The ruin stands on a rock spur above Perjen, east of Landeck, and the sources describe access as difficult; no marked trail from Stanz bei Landeck is documented. The site is on private land and the keep was restored by its owner, so visitors should respect that. Below the castle, about 50 metres down, lie the remains of a stable; the farmyard was further off toward Stanz.

The fortress complex extends beyond the main hilltop and includes remains of an economic courtyard area with stables positioned about 50 meters below. These separate buildings show how large the original estate was and how the rulers organized their resources.
