Schloss Lichtenberg

The stone fortress stands at 914 meters elevation on a hill, offering views across the surrounding Alpine mountains and valleys of Salzburg region.

The Lords of Lichtenberg constructed the original castle structure during the early 13th century as a defensive position above the Saalfelden settlement.

The castle now functions as a cultural center where exhibitions, performances, workshops, and conferences take place throughout the year.

Guided tours operate every Tuesday during July and August at 14:30, with additional group visits available through advance reservations.

The castle combines preserved medieval architecture with modern cultural facilities, maintaining its status as a protected historical monument in Austria.
