VR glasses compatible (e.g. Quest 3)
Pfannberg ruins near Frohnleiten in Styria. As with other tours – if you are interested in history, you can also find information about this castle complex online. The grandiose keep (octagonal), which is very rare in its architecture, is completely missing today. It stands out very conspicuously in older photos and of course contemporary copper and steel engravings. Unfortunately, it was probably blown up for security reasons in the second half of the 20th (!) century. It wasn't that long ago.
However, the two Gothic access gates to the castle built into a gate tower and a clearly visible fireplace in the residential building are still worth seeing. The castle is located in a very favorable, sunny location and is in direct line of sight to the town of Frohnleiten and Rabenstein Castle.
Help for the tour
The virtual tour is best experienced in full screen (double click on the image or click on the button at the bottom right), on a large PC monitor with headphones or speakers. Simple reconstructions of the former building structure become visible under the mouse cursor (or when touching the touchscreen). Small details are pointed out using information symbols.
At the top right, an orientation plan and/or a map can be activated, at the right edge the music can be set to mute, a compass can be hidden or shown and switched to English.
If you activate the home button at the top of the screen, you get to the aerial photo/overview and back again.
The tour, like all the others, can be experienced with VR glasses such as a Quest 3. Without additional software – simply enter the URL of this page in the browser of the glasses, activate the VR button that is then visible there – done.
