The Reichenfels Castle Ruins are the ruins of a lowland castle located at the mouth of the Sommerauer Graben in the market town of Reichenfels in the Lavant Valley. First mentioned in 1227, it was the seat of a Bamberg administrator. It served as an important fortification of Bamberg's political and economic power in Carinthia.
Remains of a medieval rampart and an older residential building, expanded in the 15th and 16th centuries, are still visible today. A wide moat protects the unprotected side of the ruins.
