Perched atop the Festungsberg hill, this imposing medieval fortress offers a striking presence with its towering white walls and contrasting dark roofs. Originally constructed in 1077, it stands as one of the largest, best-preserved castles in Europe. Wandering through its echoing halls and cobbled courtyards, you'll stumble upon the fascinating Prince's Chambers, complete with Gothic woodwork and intricate frescoes. The timelessness of the structure is matched only by the breathtaking panoramic views it delivers from Salzburg's most elevated vantage point. Historically, this hulking bastion was never captured, serving as a testament to its formidable defences and strategic strength.
