Ruine Hohenwang, Medieval castle ruin in Langenwang, Austria
The castle extends over 90 meters along a hilltop at 650 meters elevation, featuring preserved sections of shield walls and the main gate structure.
Built between 1122 and 1160 by Erchinger I. von Landesere, the castle suffered damage from an earthquake in the late 18th century and bombing during World War II.
The castle complex acted as an administrative center and housed a resident priest from the 13th century, supporting the spread of Christianity in upper Muerztal.
The Association Hohenwang Castle maintains the ruins, which visitors can reach through marked hiking trails leading to the historical site.
The fortress incorporated three secured gates with slip gate mechanisms and utilized the natural defense of steep cliffs instead of a traditional tower structure.
