Schloss Ritzen, Medieval castle and museum in Saalfelden am Steinernen Meer, Austria.
The stone castle stands on Museumsplatz 1, featuring 22 exhibition rooms across 1,200 square meters of museum space within its walls.
First mentioned in 1339 as Grub, the castle changed ownership through centuries until a fire in 1892 damaged substantial parts of the structure.
The museum contains an extensive collection of nativity scenes crafted by Xandi Schläffer, alongside watercolor paintings and regional farming exhibits.
The castle museum opens Thursday through Sunday from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM during winter months, with extended hours Tuesday through Sunday in summer.
The property acquired its current name Ritzen in 1604 when the Weitmoser family, successful traders from Gastein, took ownership of the estate.
