Landskron Castle

Austria, Austria

Landskron Castle is a medieval hill castle ruin northeast of Villach in Carinthia, Austria, standing on a rocky spur of the Ossiach Tauern at about 658 meters above sea level.

Dating originally to the early 14th century, the castle was first referred to as “Landskron” in 1351 and later expanded in the Renaissance by the Counts of Khevenhüller, who turned it into a major political and cultural center in the region; after fires in 1542 and a lightning strike in 1812, it was never fully rebuilt and gradually fell into ruin.

Today the site is a popular tourist destination where the castle walls house a restaurant and hotel, and regular events include medieval-style plays alongside a falconry center that holds flying demonstrations, while the nearby macaque enclosure (Affenberg Landskron) with over 100 free-roaming monkeys adds another family-friendly attraction to the grounds.
