Castles and Palaces in Salzburg
Finstergrün Castle
To be able to live in a real castle once - here this dream could come true. Annually, many young persons spend their holidays during the summer months here, as during this time the castle is operated as a youth holiday home. After the building was destroyed in 1841 by a fire, it was extensively rebuilt until 1900. Finstergrün was reconstructed into a castle in the style of the 13th century and was given a more beautiful appearance, in form of smith-iron fittings, door locks and gates.
Hohenwerfen Castle
The castle, built in the eleventh century, is the most important country castle near the Hohensalzburg fortress. The architecturally remarkable building, once the archbishop’s defence fortress, is today an excursion destination well-worth seeing: an interesting weaponry exhibition as well as flight shows of the local falconry await visitors.
Castles in Salzburg
Hohensalzburg Fortress
The landmark of Salzburg captivates not only with its beautiful silhouette against the townscape of Salzburg. Hohensalzburg is the largest entirely preserved castle of Central Europe. Established in 1077, its actual construction history, however, ended only in the 17th century. Until 1803, the castle was the seat of the archbishops; today it is open to the public as a museum.
Castles in Salzburg
Hellbrunn Palace
The palace, built from 1612 to 1615, has many unique attractions to offer. The remarkable architecture as well as the trick fountains and the "mechanical theatre " (by water driven marionettes) are a fascination for all visitors. Museum lovers get their money’s worth, too: the "month castle" accommodates the Salzburg folklore museum, and adjacent to the wonderful Areal there is the famous Hellbrunn zoo.
Hellbrunn Palace
Mirabell Palace
Built in the 17th century, it served in present times until 1950 as the living quarters of the president of the Salzburg Festivals. Today, the Mirabell Palace accommodates the official residence of the Salzburg mayor as well as different departments of the city administration. The castle with its classicistic facade enchants guests not only with perhaps the most beautiful wedding hall of the world, but invites to a fascinating journey by the extraordinary "Zwergerlgarten" and the maze with its highlight - the ‘hedge theatre’.
