Burg Arnholz, Medieval castle in Matrei am Brenner, Austria.

The rectangular tower of Burg Arnholz stands with 1.9-meter-thick walls, incorporating a rock-carved cell and corridor through its structure.

First documented in 1257, the castle served as residence for the Lords of Matrei, with Otto II von Matrei adopting the name 'von Nardenholze' in 1271.

The castle maintains its status as a protected monument, contributing to the preservation of Austrian architectural heritage in the Innsbruck-Land district.

Following extensive renovations between 1956 and 1964, the castle received modern interior updates while maintaining its historical exterior features.

The three-story Debernturm bastion, measuring 12 meters high with a 7-meter diameter, features decorative elements despite lacking military functionality.
