Burgruine Rattenberg, Medieval castle ruin in Rattenberg, Austria.
The castle ruins stand on a plateau above Rattenberg, featuring remaining walls and the preserved Biener tower overlooking the Inn Valley and surrounding mountains.
Built in 1254, the fortress served as a crucial administrative center for collecting tolls and taxes along the Inn River trade route until its abandonment.
The castle grounds transform into an open-air theater during summer months, hosting performances of the Rattenberg Schlossbergspiele against the medieval backdrop.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through multiple paths, including a 15-minute walk from the P1 car park or via a lift near the Malerwinkel restaurant.
The Biener tower received its name from chancellor Biener, who met his fate through beheading at this location, marking a dark chapter in the castle's history.
