The ruin itself is well preserved and interesting to explore. There are even small exhibitions. Finally, we explored the fire tower. The view is truly magnificent.

The hilltop castle was built in the 12th century on the 480 m high Schlossberg. After it was connected to the town by a ring wall, it formed an important fortification to secure the eastern border [wikipedia]

Great castle complex. Obviously prepared for visitors with a lot of local commitment. A well-developed road leads directly to the castle. You can take bikes with you. The hilltop castle was built in the 12th century on the 480 m high Schlossberg. After being connected to the town by a ring wall, it formed an important fortification to secure the eastern border. The castle was owned by important families, such as the Lords of Wildon from Styria, the Kuenringers, Güssingers, Pottendorfers, Puchheimers and finally the Hungarian Counts Pálffy. Even Hungary's King Matthias Corvinus was the lord of the castle in Kirchschlag before Emperor Maximilian I recaptured Kirchschlag after his death. The decay of the castle began when around 1650 Hans Christoph III. von Puchheim had the courtyard house, today's town hall, built in the village and moved his residence there. The Counts Pálffy did not move into the Kirchschlag Castle either, but moved their seat to the better-preserved Krumbach Castle, which continued the decay. Just like Güns Castle, Kirchschlag Castle was never conquered during the Turkish sieges of 1529 and 1683. The castle could not be taken by the Haiduks (1605), by the robbery hordes of the Hungarian insurgent Gábor Bethlen (1621) and by the Kuruzzi (1703) and offered the population safe protection.

Wonderful destination. The ruin is accessible free of charge. The tower offers a magnificent view of the ruins, the Kirchschlag and the Bucklige Welt.

If you stand in front of the church, then the almost inconspicuous source on the left is already at the end of the church a bit further down - it could also be a bit of decoration.
