Helfenberg Castle, Renaissance castle in Helfenberg, Austria.

The castle stands 300 meters above its previous location, featuring architectural elements from the early 17th century and an extensive library within its walls.

The first mention of Helfenberg dates to 1224, with Wirint de Helfenberch documented in records from the Hohenfurt monastery in Upper Austria.

The castle chapel, constructed during the Märk von Gneisenau family ownership, contains religious artifacts and an altar added by the Revertera family.

The castle remains private property of the Revertera family, allowing visitors to view the structure only from external vantage points.

Hans Christoph von Oedt established a substantial library in 1607, making it an early center of learning in the Upper Austrian region.
