Burg Raipoltenbach, Medieval castle ruins in Neulengbach, Austria

Three round corner towers remain from the original rectangular fortification that measured 75 by 86 meters with tube-like shooting slits along the walls.

The castle, constructed around 1300, belonged to several noble families until Turkish raiders damaged it in 1683, leading to its gradual deterioration.

The castle features in Fritz Habeck's historical novel 'Der Kampf um die Barbacane' and Rudolf Büttner's documentation of Lower Austrian castles.

The ruins stand next to a sports field with convenient parking facilities at coordinates N 48°13.050 E 15°53.265, offering unrestricted public access.

A wooden pipeline from Langenberg supplied water to the castle, which originally contained a three-story Renaissance structure within its fortified walls.
