Schallenberg Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Kleinzell im Mühlkreis, Austria
The castle ruins stand on a rocky promontory at 434 meters above sea level, surrounded by steep cliffs and the winding Große Mühl river.
Built around 1231 as a property of the Passau Prince-Bishopric, the castle first appeared in written records through a donation to Wilhering Abbey in 1260.
The structure represents a typical Austrian hilltop fortification that controlled both the ancient pack animal route and river traffic on the Große Mühl.
The castle remains can be reached through an unmarked path, requiring visitors to carefully plan their route to locate the historical structure.
The Schallenberg family crypt remains preserved in the St. Josef Cemetery Chapel of Niederwaldkirchen, connecting past and present generations.
