Sprechenstein Castle, Medieval castle in Freienfeld, Italy
Sprechenstein Castle is a medieval fortress in Freienfeld comprising a lower fortress section and an upper keep with residential structures. The complex sits at a higher elevation compared to the neighboring Reifenstein Castle nearby.
The castle underwent major reconstruction in 1241 and remained under Trautson family control until 1775. Ownership then passed to the Auersperg family in the following period.
