Burgruine Plainburg, Medieval castle ruins in Großgmain, Austria.
The stone walls of Plainburg rise 5 meters high and measure 1.5 meters thick, forming a protective barrier around the inner courtyard.
Built between the 11th and 12th centuries, Plainburg served as the ancestral residence of the Plainer family until their lineage ended in 1260.
The ruins contain architectural elements from different periods, including a Gothic entrance gate added during modifications between 1470 and 1800.
Visitors can access the castle ruins free of charge during summer months from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM through marked hiking trails.
During renovation work in the 1970s, workers discovered a child's skeleton embedded within the gatehouse walls.
