Weiherburg, Gothic castle in Hötting district, Innsbruck, Austria.
Schloss Weiherburg stands at an elevation of 1247 meters, featuring late Gothic architecture and overlooking the surrounding Tyrolean landscape from its strategic position.
Christian Tänzl, who gained fortune from silver mining in Schwaz, constructed the castle in 1460 before selling it to Sigismund the Coin Wealthy in 1480.
The St. Anna Chapel within the castle contains frescoes from 1798 by Josef Strickner, depicting the Virgin Mary between Saint Anne and Saint Christopher.
The castle currently serves as a venue for cultural events and houses a restaurant, making it accessible for visitors exploring the Hötting neighborhood.
The name Weiherburg derives from a fish pond that existed near the site until 1911, reflecting its historical connection to local water features.
