If I'm interpreting this correctly, you have a view of several castles or fortresses from this vantage point. However, anyone looking for Lichtwerth Castle will only find it in a few of the uploaded pictures. Most of the images show Kropfsberg Castle, which stands on a hill jutting out into the Inn Valley and is largely a ruin. Lichtwerth, on the other hand, sits in the middle of a meadow on the plain and is well-preserved. To clear up any confusion: Beyond Lichtwerth, on the other side of the main road, more towards Brixlegg, is the larger Matzen Castle, which is now a hotel and also houses an upscale restaurant in its courtyard. It also boasts a large, beautiful park.

Together with the castle park, it forms an impressive ensemble.

Imposing castle in the Inn Valley

A stately castle and estate where you can stay in style, eat fine food, and take a leisurely stroll through the park.

The castle is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The castle cannot be visited freely; it can only be visited as part of a guided tour.

But unfortunately it is not the fortress of Kufstein!😉😉

The Renaissance Jewel Among Austria's Castles and Fortresses Tratzberg Castle was first documented in the 13th century and served as a former border fortress against Bavaria. Emperor Maximilian used Tratzberg as a hunting lodge, but the original fortified castle was completely destroyed by fire in 1492. The emperor did not rebuild Tratzberg but instead exchanged the ruins for a castle belonging to the wealthy silver mine owners, the Tänzel family. In 1500, they erected the first late Gothic section of the present-day Tratzberg Castle in an unusually magnificent and lavish manner, furnishing it with extraordinarily artistic marble, wood, and ironwork. In 1554, the wealthy Augsburg merchant Georg Ritter von Ilsung acquired the castle, expanding and altering it in the spirit of the Renaissance. Through inheritance, Tratzberg became the property of the well-known and wealthy Fugger merchant family, who further embellished the castle. The magnificently painted inner courtyard and most of the furnishings still preserved today, as well as the exquisite Renaissance rooms, date from this period. After several changes of ownership, Tratzberg remained uninhabited for almost 150 years. Through the marriage of Count Franz Enzenberg to Countess Ottilie Tannenberg, the by then almost derelict castle passed into the possession of the Counts Enzenberg in 1847, and it has remained their private residence ever since. To this day, it is only thanks to the great dedication of the family that the approximately 6,800 square meter Tratzberg, with its 5,000 square meter shingle roof, has once again become the epitome of a 16th-century Tyrolean castle and thus one of the most important artistic and cultural monuments in the region, open to the public.

The eventful history of Tratzberg Castle: What began more than 500 years ago as a small fortified settlement has developed into one of the most beautiful and best-preserved Renaissance castles in Austria. Tratzberg Castle frequently changed hands, suffered many setbacks, and was continually expanded. Today, Tratzberg Castle is one of the few castles still privately owned and even serves as the residence of the Count Goëss-Enzenberg family.
