Sprinzenstein Castle, Protected castle in Sarleinsbach, Austria.
Sprinzenstein Castle rises above the Small Mühl Valley on a rocky foundation, featuring half-round towers and a columned courtyard from the 17th century.
The original fortress, built in 1253 for Knight Siboto von Sprinzenstein, underwent reconstruction into a Renaissance castle following a fire in 1583.
The castle contains a family archive and library, preserving documents and literature that reflect the heritage of the noble Sprinzenstein family.
The former drawbridge has been replaced with a stone bridge, and visitors can access the castle through the entrance area that retains elements of the medieval structure.
According to local tales, a farmer discovered treasure after spotting a finch on a rock, leading to the construction of the first fortress at this location.
