Ruine Massenburg

From Jakobikirche, the path leads via Dirnböckweg and Massenbergstraße in just a few minutes' walk through the historic gatehouse directly into the inner courtyard of the Massenburg ruin. To this day, the impressive gatehouse and striking wall remains have been preserved. A viewing tower offers a wonderful view over Leoben and the surrounding mountains. The name "Massenburg" is first documented in the 12th century. Around the middle of the 16th century, the complex was significantly expanded. In 1820, the castle was largely demolished, except for the granary and some walls. In the years 1998/1999, the remaining parts were uncovered and extensively renovated. In addition, Massenburg is a popular starting point for numerous hikes.
