Friedburg, Medieval castle ruin in Neukirchen am Großvenediger, Austria
The stone ruins of Friedburg stand on a hillside, featuring remaining outer walls and traces of the original castle moat measuring 11 square meters.
The castle originated around the year 1000 under Bavarian control, transferred to Salzburg jurisdiction in 1228, and burned down in 1550 without subsequent reconstruction.
The ruins maintain protected monument status among eleven designated heritage structures in the Neukirchen am Großvenediger municipality of Salzburg region.
Multiple hiking trails connect to the castle site, including the Stellplatz Friedburg loop spanning 2.76 kilometers with an elevation gain of 240 meters.
Local tales mention a devil flying from Sulzau to Hieburg carrying a boulder, dropping it near the smithy when church bells interrupted the flight.
