Schloss Burgstall is a historic castle located in the village of Wies, in the Deutschlandsberg District of southern Styria, Austria. Situated atop the Schlossberg hill above the market town, the site was first documented in 1280, although evidence suggests that a fortification may have existed there as early as the late 12th century. Originally known as Lackenberg, the castle was granted in 1240 by Emperor Frederick II to Kunigund, the daughter of the knight Albert von Purchstall. Today Schloss Burgstall houses a state-run agricultural vocational school (Fachschule Burgstall) and is not open to the public except by special arrangement: guided tours can be made by appointment.
