Salzburg's most famous castle is of course the 900 year old Hohensalzburg Fortress and the city's landmark. It is Europe's largest and best preserved fortified castle. Spectacular views of the entire Mozart City await visitors to Hohensalzburg Fortress. Located in the centre of the Old Town, which stands under UNESCO protection, this is a unique setting for extraordinary product presentations, receptions, dinners and celebrations.

For those wanting to stay closer to the ground but wanting to stage their event in the centre of Salzburg's Old Town, the stately rooms at the Residenz are also at your disposal. The prince archbishops really new how to celebrate in a grand style having magnificent rooms built which are available for events of all kinds today. Prince Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau brought Italian Baroque to the Mozart City and transformed Salzburg into a princely seat of power. The Residenz henceforth epitomised the sacred and worldly rulers and very little has changed since then. The state apartments are often used for state receptions, Salzburg Festival receptions and other illustrious occasions. The Residenz in Salzburg provides stately setting for events in 8 different rooms seating from 20 to 645 guests. The chambers and the extensive courtyard can be booked throughout the entire year for receptions, seminars, conferences, presentations, festivities, incentives etc.

Following the Salzach Valley, about 40 kilometres to the south of Salzburg, you will come to the town of Werfen where the 900 year old Hohenwerfen Fortress majestically overlooks the town.

If you are looking for medieval flair and an event location steeped in history you need look no further!
