Hasegg Castle

The stone castle features a dominant tower overlooking the Inn River and contains exhibits displaying historical coinage production methods from the 15th century.

The castle, constructed in 1306, served as a protective structure for salt mining operations and later became the location of the provincial mint in 1477.

The Museum Münze Hall exhibits the evolution of European currency, including the creation of the first Thaler coins that influenced modern dollar denominations.

Visitors can access guided tours of the mint facilities, climb the mint tower for regional views, and participate in historical coin-making demonstrations.

Between 1748 and 1768, craftsmen at Hasegg Castle produced over 17 million silver Thalers, establishing it as a major European currency production center.
