Tips

Wipptal

November 10, 2021

Starting from the Roman road station Matreyum, three castles were built to protect Brennerstrasse in the Middle Ages. One (and the youngest) of these was Trautson Castle, built in 1221, which, in contrast to the other two castles Raspenbühel and Vogelbühel, still exists today. It should represent the predominance of the Counts of Tyrol over the Wipptal over the Counts of Andechs.

With the construction of the Brennerbahn in 1868 and the blasting of the tunnel through the castle hill, the castle suffered major damage. After major restorations, it was destroyed by aerial bombs on April 2, 1945, except for the chaplaincy and parts of the keep. The bombs were supposed to interrupt the Brenner railway.

Trautson Castle, which towers over Matrei, dates back to the 13th century and was once known as the "Pearl of the Wipptal". Towards the end of World War II, the castle was almost completely destroyed in a bombing raid.
It has since been restored and is beautiful to look at.
