The path leads up through 14 artfully designed castle gates to the summit of a hilltop, which rises from the slightly undulating plain in Launsdorf. Here soars the main fortress of the historic defensive system, which has been owned by the Khevenh\u00fcller family for 470 years. <\/p>\n\n<p>The castle was first transferred by the Emperor to the provincial governor Christoph Khevenh\u00fcller in 1541 as a feudal right, and in 1561 it passed into the ownership of the provincial governor Baron Georg Khevenh\u00fcller, who extended it to its current condition between 1570 and 1586. <\/p>\n\n<p>His will, which can still be seen chiselled in stone on the fortress, states that he built the fortress for the good of the people and for their protection. Georg Khevenh\u00fcller was the 16th generation of his family to govern the fortress \u2013 and one thing has to be said: his last will is brought to life today. His grandson, the present-day lord of the castle Karl Khevenh\u00fcller-Metsch, ensures the well-being of the visitors to the fortress with a variety of offerings.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"410\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitklagenfurt.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2032.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.visitklagenfurt.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2032.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.visitklagenfurt.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2032-300x120.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.visitklagenfurt.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2032-768x308.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>(c) K\u00e4rnten Werbung, Gert Steinthaler<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14 gates and one lift<\/h2>\n\n<p>Visitors to the fortress are free to climb the hill by means of the secured path leading through the various gates, which bridges deep gorges, nestles deftly against walls gouged from the rock, and here and there widens out into places-of-arms.

An ideal starting point is the armoury, with collections of weapons and paintings dating from the Renaissance period which bring past times to life. Ready to experience the world of medieval craftsmen? The castle\u2019s carpentry workshop offers a look behind the scenes of the continuous maintenance of furniture, windows and doors. This requires not only restoration by carpenters, but the walls, which are a thousand years old in places, also have to be maintained \u2013 using old bricklaying methods and techniques that are worthy of protection. So only original stone material and lime mortar are used, to permanently preserve the overall historical appearance.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitklagenfurt.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1mus-Hochosterwitz-Feldschlangen-Foto-August-Zoebl-Hochosterwitz-Museum-Scout-2015_web-1191x794-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.visitklagenfurt.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1mus-Hochosterwitz-Feldschlangen-Foto-August-Zoebl-Hochosterwitz-Museum-Scout-2015_web-1191x794-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.visitklagenfurt.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1mus-Hochosterwitz-Feldschlangen-Foto-August-Zoebl-Hochosterwitz-Museum-Scout-2015_web-1191x794-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.visitklagenfurt.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1mus-Hochosterwitz-Feldschlangen-Foto-August-Zoebl-Hochosterwitz-Museum-Scout-2015_web-1191x794-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.visitklagenfurt.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1mus-Hochosterwitz-Feldschlangen-Foto-August-Zoebl-Hochosterwitz-Museum-Scout-2015_web-1191x794-1.jpg 1191w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>(c) Burg Hochosterwitz, August Zoebl<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protection and loyalty<\/h2>\n\n<p>Not only does the fortress itself enjoy exceptional care, but since 1600 the princely family has also been under the special protection of a guard of honour \u2013 right up to today.
