Moosham Castle, Medieval castle and museum in Unternberg, Austria
The stone fortress stands at 1113 meters elevation, featuring defensive walls, a central courtyard, and multiple towers overlooking the Lungau region.
First documented in 1191, the castle was constructed on a former Roman fortress site and served as an administrative center for Prince-Archbishops of Salzburg.
The castle museum displays an extensive collection of sculptures, paintings, hunting weapons, and historical artifacts from different periods of Austrian history.
Guided tours operate throughout the year except from November to mid-December, allowing visitors to explore the castle interior and art exhibitions.
Between 1675 and 1690, the castle functioned as the center for witch trials, resulting in 139 executions, including 39 children aged 10 to 14.
