Burgruine Dornach, Medieval castle ruin in Lasberg, Austria

The stone remains of Burgruine Dornach stand at 530 meters above sea level, offering views across the rolling hills of Upper Austria's Mühlviertel region.

First documented in 1416, the castle suffered damage from Hussite attacks in 1427, leading to its sale by Hans Lasberger to administrator Simon Volkra in 1430.

The castle ruins represent a significant example of medieval defensive architecture in Upper Austria, with preserved sections including the gate tower and outer walls.

Parts of the castle have been renovated since 1963 and now contain holiday apartments in the gate tower, allowing visitors to stay within the historical structure.

The castle changed ownership from the Volkra family to Veit von Zelking in 1505, after which local farmers were permitted to use its stones until 1821.
