The Magnificent Fortress of Festung Hohensalzburg in Salzburg, Austria

The Fortress on a Hill

Welcome to Preferably With Castles, where I like to showcase a great place to visit - often a castle - and then give you some practical information in case you decide to make the trip. Today we talk about the stunning fortress of Hohensalzburg, perched famously atop the Festungsburg Mountain (Fortress Castle Mountain) in Salzburg Austria. How did it evolve from a simple wooden structure into a massive stone bastion that dominates the Salzburg skyline? Friends, the imposing walls of the fortress stretch out before us, we have to go take a look. The origins of Festung Hohensalzburg date back to 1077 when Archbishop Gebhard von Helfenstein ordered its construction during the Investiture Controversy. He was in support of the Pope against the Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV, so a new military base seems like a good idea. Initially, it was a simple wooden fortification, but over the centuries, it underwent numerous expansions and fortifications, especially during the reigns of Archbishop Leonhard von Keutschach (1495-1519) and Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau (1587-1612).

By the early 16th century, under Leonhard von Keutschach, the fortress had transformed into a formidable stronghold with extensive bastions and protective towers. It was during this time that the fortress gained its distinctive form, featuring Gothic and Romanesque architectural elements. Von Keutschach added the Golden Hall and the Golden Chamber (later the prince’s quarters), showcasing intricate wooden ceilings and opulent decor, reflecting the wealth and power of the archbishops.

The fortress continued to evolve, with Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau further enhancing its defensive capabilities and living quarters. Despite its militaristic design, the fortress was never taken by force, a testament to its strategic location and robust construction.

Throughout the centuries, Festung Hohensalzburg has served various purposes, from a military stronghold to a residence for archbishops, and even a barracks for troops. Today, it stands as a symbol of Salzburg's rich history and cultural heritage, attracting visitors from around the world.

Now as always let's help you get started on trip planning, because we all want to go see Hohensalzburg for ourselves now. Right? I only have so many ways to say 'This hotel was great and that restaurant was great', so I'm going to present the information differently.
