Kupelwieser-Schlössl, Salzburg, Protected tower and house on Mönchsberg, Salzburg, Austria.

The Kupelwieser-Schlössl stands as a neo-Gothic structure incorporating both a tower and residential sections on the elevated terrain of Mönchsberg overlooking Salzburg.

Originally constructed as Falkenturm in 1364 for storing hunting falcons, the building collapsed in 1863 and was rebuilt by Josef Achleitner as Marienschlössl.

The property served as a residence for writer Peter Handke from 1979 to 1988, during which he wrote several significant literary works.

The structure remains under private ownership by the Widrich family, making interior access restricted to the general public.

The building houses a collection of historical arms and armor assembled by industrialist Franz Kupelwieser during his ownership beginning in 1912.
