Burg Schärding, Medieval castle in Schärding, Austria.

The stone fortification stands near the Inn River, featuring remaining walls and a gate tower that marks the entrance to the historic center.

Built during the 12th century, the castle served as a strategic defensive structure and customs point along the important trade route between Bavaria and Austria.

The gate tower now houses the City Museum of Schärding, displaying artifacts and documents that detail the region's development through centuries.

Visitors can access the castle museum from Tuesday to Sunday between April and October, with guided tours available in German and English.

The remaining tower contains medieval prison cells with original iron doors and inscriptions made by former inmates on the stone walls.
