Altfinstermünz, Medieval castle in Nauders, Austria
The Altfinstermünz Castle stands on a rocky outcrop between steep cliffs, overlooking the deep gorge of the Inn River near Nauders.
The fortress served as a vital customs control point from the 11th century, monitoring trade routes between Austria and Switzerland through the Alpine passage.
The castle features the only preserved medieval customs house in Tyrol, displaying artifacts and documents from centuries of border control operations.
Visitors can access the castle from May through September, Tuesday to Sunday between 11:00 AM and 4:30 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages.
The castle complex includes a wooden bridge across the Inn River and a watchtower built directly into the rock face by Duke Sigismund.
