Itter Castle, Medieval castle in Itter, Austria
The stone fortress stands on a hill near the entrance of Brixental valley, featuring Tudor Revival architectural elements and defensive towers.
The castle site, first documented in 1241, served as a Nazi prison for French dignitaries during World War II from 1943 to 1945.
During the late 19th century, pianist Sophie Menter hosted composers Franz Liszt and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky within the castle walls.
The castle remains under private ownership and requires permission for visits, located 5 kilometers south of Wörgl and 20 kilometers west of Kitzbühel.
In May 1945, American soldiers joined forces with German Wehrmacht troops to defend French prisoners against an attack by Waffen-SS forces.
