Rabenstein Castle ruins rise atop a roughly 495-meter-high hill overlooking the village of Rabenstein on the Pielach River, offering a breathtaking view of the Pielach Valley. From below, the ruins stand out prominently on the wooded hill, their remaining walls and tower remnants still testifying to the former strength of the complex. The castle was likely built at the beginning of the 12th century, and it was first documented in 1136 with a "Wilhelm von Raminstein." It served to control and secure the upper Pielach Valley and the trade routes that ran through it. Over the centuries, the complex fell into disrepair and eventually became a ruin. Since 1989, a local association has been working to preserve and protect the remains, which today serve as a historical landmark and a popular viewpoint.
