Klammstein 26, 5632 Dorfgastein
What fascinating stories these old walls would have to tell if they could speak! Castle Klammstein, at the entrance of the valley, is not only the oldest structure in Gastein, but it is also where the earliest settlement of the region began. Numerous prehistoric finds point to this. As early as 1272, a fortress was built for the protection of the people and was documented for the first time. Since then, it has withstood all historical upheavals. There have been many, as one can impressively learn during a visit to the castle's own museum.
In the search for the roots of human life in Gastein, one cannot overlook Castle Klammstein. Built in the 13th century, it is said to have often been a cause of conflict between the Lords of Goldegg, the ruling family, and the Archbishops of Salzburg as the territorial lords. These conflicts were not always peaceful in nature.
Later, up until the 16th century, the administration of the mines and the judiciary were located here. After that, the no longer used castle fell into disrepair and became a ruin, until partial renovations began in the 1970s of the last century. Today, the main tower of Klammstein houses a museum that illuminates the rich and long history of the castle.
It still impressively towers at the entrance of "its" valley, about 60 meters above the access road, welcoming visitors to Gastein.
