    During the Thirty Years' War, the Innsbruck government obtained permission to build a fortification on the grounds of the Freising monastery in the Scharnitz valley. It was built between 1632 and 1634. At the inauguration of the huge dam, it was given the name of the sovereign Claudia de' Medici, who was present.
    The 6 meter high walls with their arrow slits, the partly crumbled and overgrown outbuildings, the large vaults and the moat still show the might of this fortress today.
