Edmundsburg, Protected monument on Mönchsberg, Salzburg, Austria.

The Edmundsburg is a three-story cubic building topped with a pyramid roof and an octagonal lantern, located above the Salzburg Festival halls.

Constructed between 1694 and 1696 by master builder Lorenz Stumpfegger under the commission of Abbot Edmund Sinnhuber from St Peter's Abbey.

The building features a Latin inscription above its entrance, encouraging visitors to praise God and seek divine guidance in their paths.

Access to Edmundsburg is available through the Clemens-Holzmeister staircase or via an elevator located in the Mönchsberg parking garage at Toscaninihof.

The second lightning rod in Salzburg was installed on Edmundsburg on May 12, 1786, under the supervision of Father Dominicus Beck.
