Burgruine Rehberg, Medieval castle ruins in Krems, Austria.

The stone remains of Rehberg Castle stand on a rocky outcrop where the Frauenbach Valley meets the Krems Valley, overlooking the Krems River.

First documented in 1141 under Otto de Lengenpach, the castle passed to the Babenberg dynasty in 1235 after the death of the last Lengenbach heir.

The castle chapel, documented as 'chapelle ze Rechperch' in 1316, represents the religious architecture integrated into medieval Austrian fortifications.

The ruins remain accessible through marked pathways, with information panels detailing the castle's architectural features and historical significance.

Count Ludwig von Kuefstein transformed the medieval fortress into a residential palace, marking a shift from military to civilian use in the 17th century.
