Ruine Thürndl, Medieval castle ruins in Hallein, Austria

The remaining tower structure measures 9 by 10 meters with preserved northern and eastern walls reaching 15 meters in height.

Dating from the 13th century, the castle formed part of Hallein's fortification system, connecting to the northern city gate through a defensive wall.

The ruins represent an important element of Hallein's medieval defense architecture and demonstrate the historical connection between salt mining and military structures.

Visitors can reach the ruins by following the marked hiking path from Hallein via Antoniusweg and Dürrnberg-Landesstraße through the forest.

Between 2003 and 2008, the ruins underwent extensive restoration work funded equally by Land Salzburg, Hallein city, Bundesdenkmalamt, and private sponsors.
