Kronburg, Zams, Medieval castle ruins in Zams, Austria.
The castle stands on a steep rocky peak at 1066 meters above sea level, rising 350 meters above the Inn Valley between Zams and Schönwies.
Johann von Starkenberg initiated the construction of Kronburg Castle in 1380, following permission from Duke Leopold III of Austria to build this fortification.
The Sisters of Mercy from Zams acquired both the castle ruins and the adjacent monastery with its pilgrimage church in December 2005.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a narrow mountain path starting from Kronburg Inn, where parking facilities are available.
The castle complex includes both outer and inner fortifications, with preserved structures such as a gatehouse, semi-circular tower, and multiple embrasures.
