Massenburg, Leoben, Medieval castle ruins on Massenberg mountain, Leoben, Austria
The stone defensive structure features a central tower, gate buildings, and remaining walls positioned on an elevated location above the Mur River valley.
Construction of Massenburg began in the late 13th century with a central stone tower, followed by expansions including the Hundsbart round gate tower in the 16th century.
The castle ruins serve as an outdoor venue for music and theater performances, connecting the medieval heritage with modern entertainment activities.
Visitors can reach the ruins through a marked path starting at Jakobikirche, following Dirnböckweg and Massenbergstrasse to the former gate building entrance.
Archaeological excavations in 1937 and 2000 uncovered additional sections of the castle, leading to renovations that made the site accessible for modern exploration.
