Riedenburgkaserne

Riedenburgkaserne is a military museum in Salzburg housed in a former barracks complex that spreads across several hectares with numerous buildings. The site also preserves an underground bunker system that reveals the defensive infrastructure of the region.

The site has served as a military training area since 1662 and received its first wooden barracks in 1730 to house imperial Austrian troops. The installation remained a key part of Salzburg's military infrastructure throughout the following centuries.

The museum displays exhibitions about Austrian military heritage with objects and documents spanning different eras. Visitors can see how defense strategies and military life shaped the region over time.

The museum occupies a large site with multiple buildings, so visitors should allow time to explore the different areas. Access to the bunker system and various exhibition spaces may require guidance once you arrive at the location.

Between 1945 and 1949 the grounds were known as Camp Juda and housed Jewish displaced persons after World War II. This unexpected use of the barracks remains an often overlooked chapter in the site's past.
