Golling Castle is a medieval hilltop castle built in the 13th century by the Prince-Archbishops of Salzburg and served for centuries as a court, administrative seat, and defensive structure. Due to its location on a rocky outcrop, it was an important strategic point in the Salzach Valley between the Tennengebirge and Hagengebirge mountains. The castle has been rebuilt and restored several times over the centuries, including after being destroyed during the Peasants' War and the Napoleonic Wars. Today, it is in excellent condition and houses a museum with natural and cultural history collections. Highlights include fossils such as a mammoth tusk and the rare skeleton of an Omphalosaurus, archaeological finds from the Bronze Age, a large collection of pocket watches, and preserved original rooms such as the Prince's Chamber, the former torture chamber, and a chapel with a Rococo altar. In addition, the castle regularly hosts events such as concerts, readings, and themed tours. The surrounding area offers many natural and cultural experiences, such as the Lammerklamm Gorge, the Golling Waterfall, and other nearby castles. Golling Castle is a worthwhile destination for history buffs and nature lovers alike.

Great castle above the Salzach

To the south of the castle lies the equally impressive large Meierhof, whose structure dates back to the 15th century. The gate tower there was built under Archbishop Leopold Anton von Firmian.

Glanegg was first mentioned as an archiepiscopal seat in 1350 and was the seat of a district court for a very long time. This extended to towns on both sides of the Salzach. Under Archbishop Leonhard von Keutschach, the complex, which was threatened with decay, was restored and given the current appearance of an inhabited tower castle.
