Burgruine Thaur, Medieval castle ruins in Thaur, Austria.
The stone remains of Burgruine Thaur stand on an elevated position near the village, featuring sections of walls and towers against the mountain backdrop.
The fortification served as a defensive stronghold during the Middle Ages, protecting the strategic position above the Inn Valley and the salt trade routes.
Monthly religious processions from May to October lead pilgrims through the ruins to the adjacent Romedikirchl church for traditional mass celebrations.
Visitors can reach the ruins through multiple marked trails, including a path from the Thaurer Alm parking area via the Adolf-Pichler-Weg.
The site integrates concrete columns with religious reliefs created by local artists, forming a modern spiritual path that connects to ancient structures.
