Schloss Feistritz, Medieval château in Langenwang, Austria.
Schloss Feistritz is a fortified castle with stone walls located on a hilltop in Styria that displays architectural styles spanning several centuries. The structure includes multiple rooms and building sections that retain the appearance of a genuine medieval stronghold.
The castle was founded in 1122 as a fortified residence and served as a key strategic position in the region from its beginning. Over time it underwent various modifications that altered its character and functions.
The castle served for centuries as a seat where regional noble families demonstrated their power and made important decisions. Today visitors can experience how aristocratic life unfolded within these rooms.
The castle sits on a hilltop and is accessible on foot from Langenwang, with the route passing through woodland paths. Sturdy footwear is advisable and time should be allocated for the ascent, as the access requires a moderate level of fitness.
Underground passages run beneath the grounds, connecting the main building with defensive positions on the surrounding hills. These hidden passages reveal how carefully the fortress was designed for defense.
