Rodenegg Castle, Medieval castle in Rodeneck, Italy
Rodenegg Castle stands on a rock outcrop between Sciaves and Rio di Pusteria, with steep descents into the gorge of the Rienza River.
Frederick I constructed the castle in the 12th century, and it has remained under the ownership of descendants from the minstrel Oswald von Wolkenstein.
The castle walls feature eleven medieval frescoes discovered in 1972, depicting the legend of Iwein from King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table.
The castle offers guided tours daily except Saturdays at 11:30 am and 2:30 pm, with entry fees of 8 euros for adults and reduced rates for children.
The castle contains the oldest German-language wall paintings in existence, preserved within its fortified walls above the Rienz Gorge.
