Virtual Tours
Discover Tratzberg Castle with all your senses. Stroll through walls steeped in history, admire original furnishings as testimony to the period and travel virtually through the fabulous history of Tratzberg's origins. In outstanding (360 degree and/or 3D) quality, it is possible to virtually explore this historical jewel in all its uniqueness.
The Renaissance jewel among Austria's castles and palaces
Tratzberg Castle was first mentioned in documents in the 13th century and served as a former border fortress against Bavaria.
Emperor Maximilian used Tratzberg as a hunting lodge at that time.
Goëss-Enzenberg family
To this day, it is only thanks to the family's great commitment that the approx. 6800 sqm Tratzberg, with its 5000 sqm shingle roof, has once again become the epitome of a 16th century Tyrolean castle and thus one of the most important art and cultural monuments in the country and is open to the general public for viewing.
The restoration of the historic facade is completed and Tratzberg Castle shines in new splendour !
Hidden treasures, magnificent rooms
Original furnished rooms and parlours from the 16th century are a true rarity. Take a virtual reality tour to see how the old castle fell victim to the flames in 1492, how the new castle was built in 1500 and how the magnificent Renaissance building was completed in the course of the 16th century, and then explore the original furnished rooms and the stories of the personalities who once lived here, live or virtually.
Let yourself be impressed by the charm of the Hunting Hall, with its hand-carved, life-size animal and hunting scenes. Stroll through the spacious arcades to the Fuggerstube and Chamber before being captivated by the magnificent Habsburg family tree in the grand ballroom.
Feel how the noble ladies of yesteryear lived here in the Frauenstüberl and the Königinnenzimmer. Let yourself be touched by the castle chapel before the armoury surprises you with all its treasures.

Arrival
By car or coach
Coming from Munich or Salzburg: via Kufstein continue on the Inntal motorway towards Innsbruck until the Schwaz exit. Return in the direction of Stans. Drive through the village to the Tratzberg Castle car park. From there, walk 50 metres to the slow train station.
Coming from Innsbruck, take the Inntal motorway in the direction of Kufstein as far as the Schwaz exit. Continue on the L215 road through the village of Stans until you reach the Schloss Tratzberg car park. From there, walk 50 metres to the slow train station.
Approach via Tegernsee or Bad Tölz: Along the entire length of the Achensee. In Maurach, after the yellow Jet petrol station, turn right down to Jenbach. In Jenbach, turn right at the Protestant church (Matin-Luther-Str.). Follow the road until you can only turn left or right. Turn right here, out of Jenbach, until you reach the Schloss Tratzberg car park on the right. From there, walk 50 metres to the slow train station.
Attention: The sat nav wants to suggest the Tratzberg settlement in Jenbach as the destination. But this is wrong! The castle is located exactly between Stans and Jenbach. So it's best to enter Tratzberg Castle (special destinations) in the sat nav!
By public transport (bus and train)
Train: Trains travelling from Kufstein to Innsbruck run regularly to Schwaz station. The same applies in the opposite direction (Innsbruck - Kufstein). From there you can continue by public bus.
Bus: An ÖBB bus (line 601) runs every hour from Schwaz or Jenbach railway station in the direction of „Stans / Tratzberg“ to the visitor car park at Tratzberg Castle. This is also where the Schlosswirt is located.
You can request detailed timetable information here: www.oebb.at
Tratzberg Express
The castle's own slow train will then take you the last few metres from the car park up to the castle gates - or you can walk the last 15-20 minutes comfortably uphill through the fairytale forest to Tratzberg Castle.
