Mittersill Castle is located on the northern side of the Salzach valley, 140m above the Mittersill in the Pinzgau region of Austria. All rooms are individually decorated and offer amazing mountain views.
The castle was initially built in the 12th century in order to help control the trade. In the 13th century, the castle came to the possession of the archbishops of Salzburg, who used it as a court that was primarily concerned with witch hunt cases. During a war in the 16th century, the castle was completely burned and later was rebuilt to the shape it maintains until today. The rooms might be renovated but they retain their original medieval aesthetic. The light-filled "Schreibzimmer" or writing room is perfect for breakfast and the "Gothisches Zimmer" or gothic room is a go-to for calm nights. When the sun peaks high in the summer, guests can enjoy the courtyard or the panoramic terrace.
The first reference to the castle was in 1150, when it was lounced by the Dukes of Lechsgemünd. It had a specific economic purpose, and that was to collect taxes at the crossroads of two trade routes -the Felbertauern and the the Salzach valley.
The Castle's SPA is a unique experience. The hotel provides highly-skilled therapists who focus on one thing – the guests' health and well being.
All children are welcome, up to two children up to 3 years old stay free of charge in children's cots/cribs.
Pets are allowed on request, some charges may be applicable.
