Tratzberg Castle

A Renaissance castle perched on a rocky ridge roughly a hundred metres above the floor of the Inn Valley, in the municipality of Stans between Jenbach and Schwaz. It was built between 1500 and 1508 on the ruins of an earlier fortress that Emperor Maximilian I ceded to the Tencl brothers in 1499; it later passed by inheritance to the Fuggers, and from 1847 to the Enzenberg family. The Habsburg Hall features a fresco depicting the Habsburg family tree, while the Fugger Chambers retain their original Gothic and Renaissance furnishings. The courtyard and first floor are accessible on guided tours, from late March to early November.
