Schloss Rif, Heritage castle in Hallein, Austria
The castle features three wings across three floors, with two corner towers topped by tent roofs and archbishops' coats of arms on its main facade.
The castle's first mention dates to 1125 through Friedrich de Rifaren, while its name Riue stems from the Latin word ripa, meaning riverbank.
The castle includes the George Chapel, consecrated in 1557 as Capella Regia by Archbishop Michael von Kuenburg during the property's transformation period.
Schloss Rif houses part of the University of Salzburg's sports science campus and maintains regular opening hours for visitors interested in its architecture.
A 1.6-kilometer tree-lined avenue leads to the castle entrance, marked by a high masonry archway with decorated framework.
