Burgruine Wolfstein, Schönbühel-Aggsbach, Medieval castle ruins in Schönbühel-Aggsbach, Austria
The castle ruins include preserved sections of western walls, a defensive moat, and a prominent keep standing against the Austrian landscape.
First documented in 1217, the castle belonged to Perchtold von Wolfstein before passing to Albero V. von Kuering in 1240 through regional nobility exchanges.
The castle chapel, dedicated to Saint James the Elder, contains a Baroque cross-vaulted ceiling and an early Gothic holy water basin.
Visitors need to walk through a deep defensive moat for 10 minutes to reach the castle entrance, which features a narrow passage.
During periods of drought, local residents gathered in the underground chapel beneath the keep to pray for rain.
