Burg Wildberg, Medieval castle ruin in Kirchschlag bei Linz, Austria
The castle remains stand on a ridge in the Haselgraben valley, positioned along an ancient trade route between Bohemia and Upper Austria.
First documented in 1145, the castle served as a prison for King Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia in 1394 during his month-long captivity.
The structure incorporates both Gothic elements and Renaissance architecture, with an arcaded building added between the keep and original structure in the 16th century.
The castle remains private property of the Starhemberg family and permits public access only during specific cultural events throughout the year.
A fire in 1654 severely damaged the castle, leading to restoration work and the construction of a new residential section between 1664 and 1665.
