At the entrance of the Gastein Valley, 60 meters above the access road on the Klammstein (850m) stands the Klammstein Castle, an ancient historical building. The earliest settlement of the Gastein Valley began here. Many well-known families expanded the castle into a fortress to protect the Gastein Valley and its inhabitants. Until the 16th century, the administration of the mines and the judiciary were also located here.
For five decades, the castle, which has already fallen into ruin, has been restored and is not only a symbol of the former greatness and power of its owners but also a mirror of the history and fates of the Gastein population.
In the restored castle tower, there is a small museum where numerous exhibits from the castle's history can be seen in a documentation.
In the castle tavern, there is food and drink available. With prior notification, various specialties can be enjoyed, such as knight's meals, mercenary feasts, and cheese dumplings.
