Schloss Ramingdorf, Château in Behamberg, Austria

Schloss Ramingdorf is a three-storey building with a steep hipped roof and a footprint of only about 10 by 12 metres, three window axes on the front and four on the side. A two-flight entrance stair leads to a gate crowned by a square clock tower, and round corner turrets with loopholes and conical roofs flank the facade, which was renewed around 1830.

The Hinterholzer family, also called Retzenwinkler, held Ramingdorf as a fief from the Starhembergs and from 1309 from the Wallseers. In 1499 Jakob Hinterholzer sold the estate to Appolonia Prantstetter of Steyr; the line died out in 1504. In 1516 Georg von Schaunberg freed the Hof and the ruined walls from feudal ties. From 1567 the Händl family owned it, followed in 1768 by Joachim Mechtl von Engelsperg.

A copper engraving by Georg Matthäus Vischer from 1672 provides valuable documentation of the castle's architectural appearance during the Renaissance period.

Schloss Ramingdorf stands at Ramingdorf 1 and 2 in the municipality of Behamberg, about 2 km northeast of Steyr. The building is privately owned and used for farming, so it can be viewed from the outside only. The entrance stairway's roof is held up by a single makeshift beam, and the building appears to be decaying.

The building is called a Schloss, not a Burg, and its core dates from the 16th century. A 1672 engraving by Georg Matthäus Vischer shows it was originally a moated castle reached by a wooden bridge, with loopholed walls, round towers and conical roofs; remains of the moat survive behind the house.
