Schloss Almegg, Medieval castle in Steinerkirchen an der Traun, Austria
The Renaissance castle stands on a rock plateau, featuring a massive tower that was formerly part of a circular wall system.
First mentioned in 1183 as property of Kremsmünster Abbey, the castle was leased to ministerial Otto de alben as a feudal estate.
The main facade displays a high Baroque fresco of the Madonna with a protective mantle, which functions as a sundial.
The castle remains in private ownership by the Handel family and allows only exterior viewing through advance arrangements via phone or email.
During the 1626 uprising, General Löbel and his soldiers raided and set fire to the castle before it passed to the Albrechtsheimer family.
