Guided tour of the interior in German

Taufers Castle was built at the beginning of the 13th century on a rocky outcrop separating the Tauferer and Ahrntal valleys. The main castle against the mountain of Ahornach in the north (attack side) consists of keep and attached residential tower, another palas (later grain box) is located in a protected place in the west. The site, given by the natural site, is bordered by a circumferential ring wall, to which various residential buildings, mostly built in the early 16th century, are based. The weirs around the gate tower (15th century) are of importance to castles. Of the interior, the Gothic frescoes of the chapel with a rare Deesis and the many wood-paneled and comfortably furnished rooms are particularly worth mentioning. Careful restorations were carried out in the 19th and 20th centuries.
