Schloss Laubegg, Medieval castle in Ragnitz, Austria
The stone castle stands on elevated ground in Styria, featuring thick defensive walls and a central courtyard surrounded by multiple buildings.
Built during the Middle Ages as a fortress, the castle changed ownership from the Eppensteiner family to the Murekers and later to the Wildoner nobility.
The castle serves as a testament to Austrian architectural evolution, reflecting the transformation from medieval defensive structures to residential buildings over centuries.
The Austrian Red Cross currently operates the castle as a training and operations center, offering educational programs and facilities for emergency response preparation.
During the first Turkish war in 1532, the castle functioned as a warning station, using fire signals to communicate with neighboring fortifications.
