Castle St. Petersberg lies on a small hill on the southern slopes of the Inntal. The fortified building complex is surrounded by forest and next to a pond. The freestanding so called "Faulturm" tower, which is situated outside the castle walls, also belongs to the castle. In former times castle St. Petersberg was an important administrative centre. It housed the court, which was also responsible for the Ötztal. Today the district court is located at the nearby village of Silz. At present castle Petersberg is the seat of the so called "Engelwerk", a religious community.
