Grimmenstein Castle, Austria
The Burg Grimmenstein castle is located on the southeastern slope, 100 meters below the Kulmriegel summit on a rock, in the market town of Grimmenstein,in Lower Austria, Austria.
The name Grimmenstein actually stands for three medieval castles. However, only remains of the wall of the square keep of the Hochgrimmenstein on the summit of the Kulmriegel have been preserved.
The first Grimmensteiner mentioned was an “Alber de Grimmenstain” around 1144 among the followers of Count Eckbert III von Formbach-Pitten.
Grimmenstein has been opening it to the public since April 2016.
Today is a popular location for children’s birthday parties and private celebrations.
The castle can be heated and can be used for events all year round.
