Wolfsthurn Castle, Cultural heritage castle in Andrian, Italy.

Wolfsthurn Castle stands on a wooded hill at 285 m above the village of Andrian, near Burg Andrian. It began around 1280 as a keep enclosed by a ring wall; in the 16th century a residential building and a farm wing were added, and the southern gate received a gate tower with loopholes and swallowtail battlements. It is not the same as Schloss Wolfsthurn in Ratschings.

Built around 1280 by the Murenteiner lords of Andrian as a castle-manor next to Burg Andrian, it first consisted of a keep within a ring wall. In 1430 it passed by marriage to the Wölfe von Mareit, who gave it its name; after 1464 it returned to the Andrian-Werburg, later reached the Vintler and again the Andrian. A residential wing and farm building were added in the 16th century, and after decay around 1850 it was renovated.

The name comes from the Wölfe von Mareit, who acquired the castle by marriage in 1430; after Burkhart's line died out in 1464 it returned to the Andrian-Werburg. Since 1997 the owner, Baron Kripp, has run it as a farm stay and organic farm, so the medieval residence is still lived in and worked.

The castle stands above Andrian at about 285 m, in a deciduous wood, and is not normally open to visitors. It is a private residence run as a farm stay and organic farm, so the grounds and buildings should not be entered without the owners' agreement. Do not confuse it with Schloss Wolfsthurn in Ratschings.

The castle is not the same as Schloss Wolfsthurn in Ratschings, a frequent confusion. Around 1330 the Murenteiner lords held 32 tenant farms and vineyards under Wolfsthurn, and a manor in the upper village became their main seat once the small castle decayed. Since 1997 Baron Kripp has run it as an organic farm with holiday stays.
