Not much of Liechtenstein Castle near Judenburg has been preserved - it has been falling into disrepair since around 1500. There is noticeably little to be found about it online - it doesn't even seem to be worth an entry on Wikipedia. The first documented owner (1140) was Dietmar von Liechtenstein. The most prominent representative of the Liechtenstein family (not related to today's noble Liechtenstein family) was the minstrel Ulrich von Liechtenstein. And this family named itself after their ancestral home, today's ruins of Liechtenstein near Judenburg.
As is often the case, the best preserved part is also the oldest - the keep or bergfried. The chapel with its semi-circular apse, two castle gates and the floor plans of other parts of the building that cannot be identified in more detail are still recognizable.
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.
