Freistadt Castle, Medieval castle and museum in Freistadt, Austria.
The castle structure includes a prominent 50-meter-tall keep that dominates the town's skyline and contains multiple exhibition spaces across several floors.
Built between 1363 and 1398 under Habsburg rule, the castle replaced the previous Salzhof residence and served as a provincial governor's administrative center.
The Mühlviertel Castle Museum presents an extensive collection of artifacts, including 276 reverse glass paintings that showcase regional artistic traditions.
Visitors can access the museum from Wednesday through Friday between 9 AM and 12 PM, then 2 PM to 5 PM, with weekend hours from 2 PM to 5 PM.
The castle maintains its original Gothic archway entrance leading to the outer courtyard, where a former granary now functions as a youth hostel.
