Castles and Palaces of Salzburg

Salzburg’s architectural heritage spans from the opulent Baroque era to the rugged Middle Ages. This selection includes the UNESCO-listed Mirabell Palace with its geometric gardens and the 17th-century Schloss Frohnburg. It also highlights several medieval defensive structures, such as the strategic ruins of Pass Strub and the hilltop remains of Burgruine Haunsperg and Lichtentann. From the high-altitude Burg Finstergrün to the residential Schloss Aigen, these sites illustrate the region's evolution from defensive strongholds to centers of European nobility.
