Ruin
Burgruine Losenheim
🇦🇹 Austria · 12th century
The sparsely preserved remains of Burgruine Losenheim lie on an isolated rocky spur north of the hamlet of Losenheim, about 5 km from Puchberg am Schneeberg. Because of the exposed position and probably because of the early abandonment of the spur castle as a seat of lordship, only modest remains of walls are still to be seen. These have meanwhile been incorporated into an ensemble of extensive restoration works, since the entire complex has been reconstructed privately since the 1990s.
