Castle tour...

... walk through 600 years of eventful history.


Even today, you can feel the atmosphere of days long gone when you enter the venerable Kaprun Castle, it is as if you are traveling back in time. Surrounded by centuries-old walls, you get an impression of how counts or bailiffs spent their daily lives back then.


What is a real attraction for visitors today was a proud possession and refuge for many noble families for centuries. The castle was first mentioned in documents at the end of the 13th century. Historians assume, however, that the construction of the castle goes back even further. Kaprun Castle was built by the Upper Bavarian noble family of the Falkensteins in the 12th century.


Until 1975, the castle went through exciting times, before it fell more and more victim to the natural process of decay. Finally, the Burgverein Kaprun made sure that mountains of rubble, wild growth and signs of weathering were repaired. Since then it shines again in old splendor and wraps modern events in a historical garb. The perfect symbiosis of past and present!


We invite our visitors to visit the castle and at 5 p.m. we are pleased to present the Historic Castle and tell the castle history. Afterwards, the castle premises can be explored by yourself. There are photo points, a small exhibition, the castle museum and the dungeon. In order to reach the panoramic view at the highest point of the keep, the castle association built a staircase in 2021. The unique view over the Zell basin is a special highlight of the castle visit.


The castle tours take place from 04 July to 25 September always on Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays at 17:00 to 19:00.
