Hasegg Castle. In Hall in Tirol

First mentioned in historical records in the 13th century, the castle was built to protect the salt works, shipping, the bridge over the River Inn and to guard the old salt road. The name derives from the ‘Pfannhäuser’ (salt pans), where brine was evaporated, and at whose ‘Egg’ (corner) the castle stood. In the 15th century, the castle was expanded into a princely residence. In 1567, Archduke Ferdinand II had the mint relocated here.

The famous St George’s Chapel and the state rooms are not open to the public, but can be hired for weddings and events.
