Burgruine Eibenstein, Medieval castle ruins in Raabs an der Thaya, Austria.
The stone remains of Eibenstein Castle stand on a steep cliff above the Thaya River, featuring sections of the north wall and chapel foundations.
First mentioned in documents from 1194, the castle served as a residence for the ministerials of the Counts of Pernegg until their lineage ended in 1220.
The site represents medieval Austrian defensive architecture, incorporating a fortified house and chapel that protected river crossings along the Thaya.
The ruins remain open throughout the year without entrance fees, accessed through marked paths from the village of Eibenstein.
Large sections of the northern castle wall collapsed into the Thaya River in 1867, altering the structure's appearance permanently.
