Schloss Freisaal, Medieval castle in Nonntal, Austria
The castle rises from a small pond in southern Salzburg, near the Faculty of Natural Sciences of the University of Salzburg.
First documented in 1392, Prince Archbishop Pilgrim II of Puchheim established the structure as a residential retreat outside the city walls.
The upper floor contains a 1558 Hans Bocksberger fresco depicting Prince Archbishop Michael von Kuenburg's ceremonial entry into Salzburg.
The castle remains under private foundation ownership, allowing visitors to view the exterior architecture and surrounding grounds from designated paths.
The name evolved from 'Freudensaal,' meaning pleasure hall, reflecting its original function as a recreational residence for church leaders.
