Castle ruins above Thaur with beautiful views

Hasegg Castle, Hall in Tirol First mentioned in documents in the 13th century, the castle was built to protect the saltworks, shipping, the bridge over the Inn and to monitor the old salt road. The name comes from the Pfannhäuser, in which brine was evaporated and on whose "Egg" (corner) the castle was located. In the 15th century, the castle was expanded into a princely residence. In 1567, Archduke Ferdinand II had the mint moved here. Text / Source: Hall-Wattens Tourism, Unterer Stadtplatz 19, 6060 Hall in Tirol https://www.hall-wattens.at/de/burg-hasegg.html

Mint tower of Hasegg Castle, Hall in Tirol The old town of Hall is the largest preserved medieval old town in North Tyrol: its landmark is the mint tower of Hasegg Castle. Two special features of this charming little town are its old town and the mint with the mint tower. In 1477, Archduke Sigmund of Tyrol moved the princely mint from Merano to Hall, probably because of its proximity to the silver mines of Schwaz. In 1748, the Maria Theresa thaler was minted over 17 million times here and used as a means of payment all over the world. Today, the coin museum at Hasegg Castle tells of these times, and the associated mint tower offers you a wonderful view of the city.

The Münzerturm, the legendary landmark of the city of Hall, can also be visited. There are individual tickets for the museum and tower, as well as a combined ticket for both. Personal tours or tours with audio guides are available in various languages.

From the Münzerturm, the city's landmark, you have a wonderful view over the medieval town of Hall to the impressive Karwendel massif. The tower is located in the grounds of Hasegg Castle. A visit to the tower is not only worthwhile for the view. There is also an exciting museum here that explains everything about the coin and its production.
