Schloss Matzen, Medieval castle in Reith im Alpbachtal, Austria.
The castle combines Gothic architecture with Roman foundations, featuring a round tower, multiple courtyards, and arcades across its extensive grounds.
First documented in 1167 under the Knights of Frundsberg, Schloss Matzen stands on the site of an ancient Roman post called Masciacum.
The castle houses a Gothic chapel with a baroque altar, a barrel-vaulted Knight's Hall, and a library containing historical hunting trophies.
The castle grounds include Gut Matzen Café & Restaurant, open Wednesday through Sunday, with outdoor seating near the fish pond.
During World War II, the castle protected collections from the Tiroler Landesmuseum Ferdinandeum and Tyrolean library from potential damage.
