Treuenstein Castle, Castle ruin in Bolzano, Italy.

The circular keep of Treuenstein Castle stands 23 meters high and features a crown of three-meter-high merlons atop its stone structure.

Count Meinhard II of Tyrol constructed Treuenstein Castle around 1280 for his trusted vassal Friedrich, who served as administrator of Trent.

The castle name translates to 'loyal stone' in German, reflecting the strong bond between Count Meinhard II and his vassal Friedrich.

The castle remains are located on Via San Genesio in Bolzano, near a 19th-century Tudor-style mansion called Troyenstein residence.

The keep earned the name G'scheibter Turm, as it represents the sole surviving structure from the original medieval fortification complex.
