Burg Freundsberg, Medieval castle and museum in Schwaz, Austria
The castle contains a 28-meter-tall residential tower rising above the Inn Valley, featuring original thirteenth-century frescoes on its stone walls.
The Lords of Freundsberg established the fortress in 1150, and Archduke Sigismund of Austria acquired it in 1467, adding new structures to the complex.
The local museum within the castle walls presents exhibits about silver mining traditions and regional development through artifacts and documented histories.
Visitors can access the castle Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 to 22:00, with reduced hours on Sundays, while remaining closed every Monday.
The castle includes a late Renaissance chapel-palace constructed between 1634 and 1637, combining religious architecture with noble residential spaces.
