Burgruine Kronsegg, Castle ruin in Langenlois, Austria.
The medieval fortress stands on a steep rocky ridge above the Lois Valley, featuring two defensive towers and multiple courtyards within its stone walls.
First documented around 1250 as Chranzek under Passau ownership, the castle was constructed by the Lords of Maissau in the 12th century.
The castle name combines Middle High German words kranz meaning finest and ekk meaning ridge, reflecting medieval Austrian naming traditions.
The ruins remain open daily from Easter through October between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with no entrance fee for visitors.
The castle served as a designated refuge point for thirteen surrounding villages in 1717, indicating its sustained defensive capabilities at that time.
