Schloss Hanfelden, Renaissance castle in Pölstal, Austria.

The four-wing structure rises across three floors and incorporates an arcade courtyard with ornate architectural details from different construction periods.

Following its destruction by Turkish troops in 1480, the castle underwent reconstruction in 1494 and received additional modifications under Hans Rauchenberger's ownership in 1579.

The castle chapel contains a preserved stucco ceiling from the 17th century, representing religious architectural elements from the early Baroque period.

Archaeological studies by the University of Vienna continue at the site since 2016, offering insights into historical construction techniques and past living conditions.

Located at 983 meters elevation, the castle grounds connect to mountain biking routes through spruce forests in the Murtal district of Styria.
