Martinsbühel, Medieval castle in Zirl, Austria
The rectangular stone castle stands at 616 meters above sea level between the Inn River and the Martinswand cliff face in Tirol.
Emperor Maximilian I transformed the 13th-century fortress into a hunting lodge during the 15th century, expanding its structures for hunting activities.
The castle complex includes Saint Martin's Chapel, which contains late Gothic architecture, a Madonna statue, and remnants of Romanesque wall paintings.
The exterior grounds and chapel remain open for visits, while the main building houses a media company and an artist residence.
The nearby Martinsgrotte cave commemorates Emperor Maximilian's rescue after being stranded on the cliff for two days in the 15th century.
