Klammstein Castle

The stone fortress stands 60 meters above the access road at the entrance of Gastein Valley, featuring a main tower and knight's hall.

Built in 1272 as a fortification, the castle oversaw mining activities and served as a law enforcement center until the 16th century.

The castle museum displays regional artifacts and mineral findings, presenting the mining heritage and historical development of the Gastein Valley.

Located at Klammstein 26, the castle offers guided tours every hour and includes a tavern serving local meals in the knight's hall.

The structure maintains its position as the oldest building in Gastein Valley, situated next to the Entrische Kirche natural cave formation.
