Gösting Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Graz, Austria.
Located on a hilltop 200 meters above Graz, the ruins of Gösting Castle include a chapel, a keep, and sections of defensive walls.
Built before 1042, this castle served as a strategic fortification controlling the Mura valley until a lightning strike destroyed its gunpowder magazine in 1723.
The Gösting Castle Foundation, established in 1925, maintains the medieval ruins and preserves their architectural heritage for future generations.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a 20-minute uphill walk from the base, with regular bus services connecting to the starting point.
The castle tower houses a small museum, while a tavern near the ruins provides refreshments for visitors exploring the medieval fortification.
