Schloss Dornbach, Renaissance water castle in Malta, Austria.
The three-story castle stands surrounded by a wide moat, featuring pointed arch portals from the 15th century and stone window frames from the 16th century.
The property first appeared in records in 1462 under Andreas von Weißbriach ownership, and from 1639 to 1932 belonged to the Counts of Lodron.
The castle displays architectural elements from multiple periods, including Renaissance design, medieval fortifications, and baroque stone figures of Mary and John of Nepomuk.
Located at 797 meters elevation, the castle now functions as a holiday apartment with 102 square meters of living space, equipped with modern amenities.
The building represents one of the few remaining water castles in Carinthia, protected by a high ring wall with arrow slits from the 14th century.
