Arnstein ruins, Medieval castle ruins in Maria Raisenmarkt, Austria.

The Arnstein ruins stand on a 561-meter hill within the Vienna Woods, featuring remaining walls and a round tower from its original structure.

Built in 1170 by Wichard von Arnstein, the castle met its destruction during the Turkish invasion of Vienna in 1529 and underwent partial reconstruction.

The ruins maintain protected status as a heritage monument, representing medieval architectural techniques and defense strategies in Lower Austria.

Multiple hiking trails lead to the ruins through the forest, connecting the site with the Peilstein hut and other regional walking paths.

The Austrian Federal Forests have managed the preservation of these medieval remains since 1955, protecting the architectural elements for research.
