Sept 2020

We just passed it as we were driving back to the hotel. We stopped to visit the castle but it wasn't open anymore (it was also after 17:00). It was a gorgeous castle with a lot of green. You could even start a hiking route there. I think that visiting the castle with a guide would be nice

“Cool for a quick visit”

Dec 2019

Beautiful location. Only open on Monday at 4pm...we thought that meant any time between 4-5...not so. The one and only tour is at 4. We were able to see the inside briefly. It looks like it could be an awesome venue.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Amazing views over Kaprun

Jul 2019 • Family

We attended the Austrian music and dance show in the castle on the Tuesday evening. The show itself was really good but even better was the opportunity to look around the castle during the interval. The castle was interesting and the views over Kaprun are just amazing.

Best view of Kaprun

Feb 2018 • Solo

It has the best view on Kaprun- you can see tbe village, all the mountains, the ski roads, the river.
Couldn't buy a ticket, as it was closed. Seen the inside of the walls, really nice. I think inside is even nicer.
Jn the wibter you have to be cautious with the snow falling from the roof - they warn you.

Disappointing

Mar 2016 • Family

We paid 5 Euro's each to look around a empty Castle. The outside is impressive but inside disappointing.

Formidable fortress

Nov 2015

Thanks should go to the entrepreneur businessmen who saved this magnificent fortress from a ruinous state some 20 odd years ago. Now a venue for events it is safeguarded for posterity. The massive rooms are basically unfurnished but the view from the battlement walks are exceptional. The castle has a fascinating history which was brought to life by a most enthusiastic and well informed guide (in English) and we really enjoyed our visit.
Burg Kaprun is only open on Mondays at 4.00pm but if you are lucky enough to get the opportunity to visit then I recommend warm clothes in Winter.

Interesting

Mar 2015 • Family

Only open for visits on Monday afternoon. One guide was designated to show the English speakers around. He was a very enthusiastic local volunteer, who was part of the team who renovated the castle some years ago. He was very knowledgeable and made the visit very interesting indeed.

Solemn castle

Feb 2017 • Couples

February is not the time for a visit, as the place is closed. Nevertheless it is a nice walk from the city and interesting from the outside.

Visit when they have an event

Jul 2016 • Family

We visited during a big mediaeval event which was amazing. Held every year with everyone dressed up very realistically. Music, sword fights, stalls, and loads of atmosphere. Amazing. The castle is imposing close up and has commanding views.

Nice 12 century castle dominating the valley

Feb 2016 • Family

The castle is open to visits only at Mondays between 16:00 till 17:00, The visit is guided in English or German you can choose.
Nowdays the castle serves mainly as a well kept historical monument and as a place for weddings.
The english tour was guided by an old gentlemen that gave us a lot of information about castle history.
