Schloss Limberg bei Wies, Steiermark

The castle complex features a central gate tower and two corner towers connected by galleries to the main building at 46.743144 N, 15.210366 E.

First documented in 1244 as Lindenperch, the castle served to secure passage to Carinthia and underwent Renaissance modifications in the late 16th century.

The structure represents regional architectural evolution from a defensive fortress to a noble residence, reflecting changing social patterns across several centuries.

The castle now functions as a recreation center managed by the Styrian Youth Welfare Organization and Scout groups, following its last exterior renovation in 1960.

The property passed through multiple noble families before becoming part of the Liechtenstein family holdings from 1830 until 1933.
