Burg Wernstein, Medieval castle in Wernstein am Inn, Austria.
The stone castle sits on a hill overlooking the Inn River, featuring a mantle wall structure and an entrance gate leading into town.
The Counts of Formbach established the fortress in 1126 as an auxiliary unit to Neuburg Castle, serving as a strategic toll station for river traffic.
The castle grounds host regional events throughout the year, connecting visitors with Upper Austrian heritage through guided tours and educational programs.
Located at Burgplatz 1 in Wernstein am Inn, the castle underwent substantial restoration work between 1991 and 1993, focusing on its southern section.
The fortress maintained its defensive capabilities through centuries of conflicts, successfully resisting a siege by Duke Otto while nearby Neuburg Castle fell.
