Burg Wolkenstein, Medieval castle ruins in Wörschach, Austria.
The stone walls of Burg Wolkenstein stand on a hill overlooking the Enns Valley, featuring remnants of defensive structures and a central tower.
Built around 1125 by the Counts of Wolkenstein, the castle served as the regional court and administrative center for the Enns Valley until the 17th century.
The castle ruins represent the medieval architectural traditions of Styria and demonstrate the region's feudal administration system through its preserved structures.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a secured path that takes approximately 15 minutes to climb from the base of the hill.
The castle was the second largest defensive fortress in Styria, following only Riegersburg, and maintained a chalk fire station in the 16th century.
