Gars Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Thunau am Kamp, Austria.
The stone fortress stands on an elevated position above the Kamp River, featuring remaining walls and a three-story Renaissance wing adjacent to medieval structures.
Built in the 11th century as a Babenberg dynasty residence, Leopold III moved his court from this castle to Klosterneuburg in 1114.
The inner courtyard of the castle transforms into an open-air opera venue during summer months, hosting performances against the backdrop of ancient walls.
The castle grounds welcome visitors at Am Schlossberg 25 in Gars am Kamp, with information available through the telephone number +43 2985 33000.
Following a tax implementation on roofed buildings around 1800, the castle owners removed its covering, leading to the current state of the structure.
