Schönes Schlosshotel.

Interesting architecture

The ascent to the castle is currently closed due to forestry work

A wonderful view from here.

Freundsberg Castle is located on a steep hill south of Schwaz. It was built around 1150 AD as the ancestral home of the Knights of Freundsberg. Initially there was only a residential tower, in which parts of the original frescoes are still visible, but when Duke Sigismund the Rich acquired the castle and court in the 15th century, he had it converted into a hunting lodge. The beautiful castle church from the late Renaissance was only added between 1634 and 1637. The city of Schwaz has owned the complex since 1812 and had the local museum established in the castle tower in 1948: it offers an interesting insight into the cultural and economic development of the silver city. On the top floor, the old tower apartment takes you back to the time of the sovereign Duke Sigmund.

Historic castle

Freundsberg Castle is a great photo subject from many sides.

The remains of the ruins are accessible and the view of the Inn Valley is great. The circular hiking trail leads through the ruins. You can also grill with an open fire, you just have to register it.
