One of the most imposing works of medieval architecture in Tyrol is located in Kufstein:
Kufstein Fortress is the conspicuous emblem of the city which bears the same name, an astonishing jewel alongside the green River Inn in this rich land of culture we call Tyrol. Once built atop steep Dolomite rock as a defensive bastion, today’ s venerable building offers guests from around the world an amazing array of impressions and experiences, open daily from 9 a. m. until 5 p. m.
An interactive fortress museum, the former state prison and numerous exhibitions invite visitors, big and small, to embark on a journey back in time. Kufstein Fortress is likewise an extraordinary venue for major events of all kinds.
These include a Garden Festival, the traditional Knights’ Festival and Operetta Summer, all amidst the unique historical ambience of the roofed“ festungsarena”. In culinary matters, too, Kufstein Fortress is more than worth a visit, its Lord-of-the- Castle Feast very popular and famous far beyond our borders.
