Schloss Frauenstein

Schloss Frauenstein is a stone castle overlooking the Inn valley, featuring multiple buildings arranged around a central courtyard with exhibition spaces and artist studios housed in tuff stone structures. The main section contains three stories of rooms designed to accommodate cultural activities and events throughout the year.

The castle originated in the medieval period and was inhabited over centuries before undergoing significant restoration of its gate tower to secure structural integrity. Its transformation into exhibition and event spaces represents a more recent shift in how the building serves the regional community.

The castle now hosts regional art exhibitions and music performances, drawing visitors who use its spaces for celebrations and cultural events. Its medieval walls create a natural backdrop for theater productions and concerts that take place during warmer months.

The exterior can be viewed daily, though indoor visits require arrangements made through the local municipal office in advance. Planning ahead ensures access to interior spaces and current exhibitions on display.

The castle sits directly on the reservoir of the Frauenstein-Ering power station and lies at the intersection of multiple cycling and pilgrimage routes that cross the region. This location makes it a natural stopping point for travelers following these paths.
