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

Schloss Fügen is recognizable by the four wings with the two turrets, the marble arched portal and the large courtyard of the castle. The oldest parts date back to the middle of the 16th century, when Georg von Keutschach from Carinthia had a tower house built on this site. The arrow slits and lancet door are still visible. At the beginning of the 18th century, the old walls were converted into a baroque palace. Fügen Castle became famous in 1822, during a conference between Emperor Francis I. and Tsar Nikolaus I., when the Christmas carol "Silent Night, Holy Night" was first performed on this site by the Rainer Choir. The Christmas carol became famous all over the world. Today, the municipality of Fügen owns the castle which is used for cultural events.

Freundsberg Castle is a great photo subject from many sides.
