Schloss Prankh, Renaissance castle in Sankt Marein-Feistritz, Austria.
The castle consists of two medieval structures merged into a single Renaissance building, surrounded by former water defenses from its earlier configuration.
The fortress originated in the 11th century as a defensive tower belonging to the noble Traisen-Feistritz family, with first written records mentioning Wolfgar de Branka in 1135.
The castle served as the ancestral seat of the Pranckh noble family for several centuries, representing the administrative center of their regional influence.
Visitors can park their vehicles at the designated parking area near the castle entrance, though interior access remains restricted to external viewing only.
The castle survived the Turkish raids of 1480 without being attacked, as its strong fortifications deterred the invading forces from attempting an assault.
