Description
*Hohenwerfen Fortress *Life at court *The dumb prisoner *Adventure castle
The 900-year-old Hohenwerfen Fortress towers high above the Salzach Valley, between the Tennengebirge and the Hagengebirge mountain ranges.
Hohenwerfen served as a prison for many centuries.
Rulers such as Archbishop Adalbert III (1198), Graf Albert von Friesach (1253), the Styrian governor Siegmund (1525) and Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau (1611) were held captive there.
Today the castle presents itself as an "Adventure Castle" featuring a variety of events such as concerts, theatre performances and folklore evenings as well as castle celebrations.
