Worth seeing, unfortunately the castle is closed.

A beautifully restored castle.

The ruins are continually being renovated and expanded

... around Ligist there are beautiful hiking trails and good places to stop for refreshments 🍷😋

There are always events on the ruins and you have a beautiful view over Krems

It's only worth going up there by bike to visit the castle. The way back down to the sewage treatment plant is better on foot.

The Krems castle ruins are located east of the municipality of Voitsberg in Styria in the district of Krems. The history of the castle goes back to the 11th or 12th century, when the archbishop of Salzburg had it built. It was first mentioned in a document in 1248. Krems was repeatedly owned by larger noble families, who, however, usually commissioned caretakers or administrators to manage the estate. In the 14th century, Krems held the lower jurisdiction and in the 16th century the castle was expanded into a Renaissance castle with a zoo. In the 17th century, Count Karl Saurau acquired the property and merged it with his Ligist lordship. After moving administration to Ligist Castle in 1730, he neglected Krems and left it to decay. In 1817 part of the castle slipped down after a rain shower. Archduke Johann bought it in 1857. Information from https://maps.sygic.com/

In the heart of western Styria and on the southern foothills of the Rosenkogel, this historic building towers over the roofs of the market town of Stainz, surrounded by the castle's own vineyards and orchards. The castle was built in 1229 as an Augustinian monastery by Luitbold von Wildon.
