Schloss Rothenfels, Medieval castle in Oberwölz, Austria.
The castle rises over a natural red conglomerate rock formation, featuring a main structure, outer ward, and medieval gate tower with drawbridge system.
First documented in 1007, Rothenfels Castle served as the administrative headquarters for the Bishopric of Freising until 1803, spanning nearly eight centuries.
The castle chapel contains ceiling paintings depicting Saint Catherine of Alexandria alongside philosophers, representing medieval religious and intellectual traditions.
Tours operate from June through September on Thursdays and Saturdays, with admission costing 14 euros and discounts available through the Murau GuestCard.
The castle maintains its original medieval appearance and houses a chapel dedicated to Saint Catherine in the southwest corner of the first floor.
