Kaprun Castle

Burg Kaprun

A medieval castle on a hill at the edge of Kaprun. After restoration, it now hosts concerts, medieval festivals and weddings.

Kaprun Castle is first mentioned in 12th-century records and was once an important stronghold in the Pinzgau region. It fell into ruin after 1945 and was later restored by a local association. The interior is not always open, but the exterior and surrounding paths can be visited at any time. Medieval festivals and castle concerts are held in summer, and in winter a small Christmas market sets up in the courtyard. It is about a 15-minute walk from the town center and is worth a stop on the way.
