Berneck Castle is a castle near the village of Kauns, Austria, in the Upper Inn valley, 1,076 meters above sea level.[1]
Location
Berneck Castle is located near Kauns, on the opposite side of the Inn valley from Laudegg Castle, and in the Kaunertal valley. The castle sits on top of a large rock close to the river Faggenbach.
History
Berneck Castle was first documented in 1225, but a much older fortress seems to have existed at the site before the current incarnation of Bernegg.[2]
Bernegg has changed numerous times in history: in 1435, it was purchased by the Swiss Hans Wilhelm von Mülinen, who transformed the castle into a larger, Gothic complex.
