Burgruine Blumenegg, Castle ruin in Thüringerberg, Austria

The curved rectangular complex contains remnants of a keep, palace, chapel, ring walls, and outbuildings on a mountain spur between Schlosstobel and Lutz.

The castle, constructed in 1258 as the seat of Blumenegg dominion within the County of Montfort, underwent multiple changes before burning down in 1774.

The private group Burgfreunde Blumenegg maintains the ruins and established a cultural space in the courtyard for community gatherings and events.

The castle ruins stand approximately 1000 meters east-northeast of Thüringen, with parts of the structure dating back to the 13th century.

According to regional tales, a castle lord concealed his treasure from the Turkish War in an underground passage beneath the fortification.
