Image collection »Castle Tratzberg«
The old Castle Tratzberg was situated on the northern slope of the Inntal between Jenbach and Stans. It guarded the boarder with Bavaria and the centre of the Tyrol. After a devastating fire rich mercantilists from Schwaz, who gained their wealth from mining, rebuilt Castle Tratzberg further in the east, where it is today. They no longer build a fortified castle, but a luxurious residence - a light, four-sided building with many windows and rich in frescos on the outside as well as in the inside. As people still live inside the castle only a part of it can be visited.
