Fortress - Kufstein

Kufstein Fortress, slightly above the town, is the landmark of the 20,000-strong community on the green Inn River. Kufstein Fortress was first mentioned around 1205 AD, when it was owned by the bishops of Regensburg. Gradually, the fortress became a mighty complex and has been owned by the town of Kufstein since 1924. With a varied program for those interested in culture and history, Kufstein Fortress is one of the most popular excursion destinations in the Alpine region.

One of the attractions at the fortress is the Heroes' Organ, which is the largest open-air organ in the world with its 4,307 pipes. The organ, which commemorates the fallen of the two world wars, can be heard throughout the city at midday. Other highlights at the fortress include the local history museum, the former prison tower in the Kaiserturm, an underground rock passage, a herb garden, special exhibitions and much more.

During the day, the gates of Kufstein Fortress are open to all guests, with or without a guided tour. At night, however, the gates are closed, unless you are traveling with tour guide Bettina Gründhammer. On selected dates, she will conquer the castle with you.

In the light of a flashlight, you will see the over 800-year-old fortress with completely different eyes. Discover the eventful history of the fortress in the dark, marvel at the details of the old walls and secure a place on one of the night tours with certified tour guide Bettina Gründhammer.
