Burgruine Zeiselberg, Medieval castle ruin in Magdalensberg, Austria.
The castle remains include a rectangular tower at its peak, with substantial wall structures on the northern and western sides spanning 640 square meters.
Built around 1250 by Albert, son of Hainricus Ziesel, the castle experienced destruction in May 1293 and was not reconstructed after this event.
Archaeological excavations started in 1989 revealed elements of medieval fortification techniques, providing insights into defensive architecture from the 13th century.
Located at 570 meters above sea level, the castle ruin features accessible walking paths for visitors to examine the remaining fortification walls.
The residential tower contains specific architectural elements that demonstrate the transition period between the High Middle Ages and Late Middle Ages.
