Freyschlössl, Medieval tower house on Mönchsberg, Salzburg, Austria
The Freyschlössl spans 876 square meters across twelve rooms, including a historic tower room positioned on the Mönchsberg mountain overlooking Salzburg.
Built in the late 13th century as a fortification tower, the structure protected the passage between Mönchs and Festungsberg mountains until merchant Carl von Frey purchased it in 1862.
The property represents the evolution of Austrian residential architecture, from its origins as a military tower to its transformation into a refined living space.
The house features a glass elevator connecting all levels, multiple balconies, terraces, and a modern extension with a glass dome roof added during 2010-2012 renovations.
Positioned on 13,456 square meters of land, the property maintains its original drawbridge and offers views of Hohensalzburg Fortress and Salzburg's mountains.
