Castle Tyrol Castle Tyrol was the ancestral seat of the counts of Tyrol and gave the land to the north, south and east of the Brenner Pass its name. Extensive analytical research has confirmed the uniqueness of Castle Tyrol as a relic of medieval architecture and building sculpture. Like no other seat of the high nobility, Castle Tyrol is a stony reminder of the history of the region. The wall encircling the castle was built in 1100 and is one of the oldest surviving castle walls anywhere. On the main floor, the two marble portals from the 12th century radiate all their former glory. Rich in symbolic sculptures, they are among the most original Romanesque art creations in Tyrol. The two-storey chapel with its splendid frescoes from the 13th century is home to the oldest stained glass in Tyrol as well as a powerful wood carved model of Christ’s crucifixion made in the 14th century and bears witness to the power and need for prestige of Tyrol’s rulers. Today, the South Tyrolean Museum of History is housed in the castle. Here you can experience Tyrolean history and art first-hand – from the first settlements in the Alps through the centuries and right up to the present day.
