"Audience with the Prince Archbishop"

Special tours, followed by an optional "Caretaker's Meal"!
Length: approx. 90 – 120 minutes.

Go back in time ... it's 1500 and you are living in the castle, surrounded by thick walls, the wind whistling through the rickety windows, your eyes burning from the fireplace and the filth of the animals reeking abominably.  That's what everyday life was like at the castle.  But magnificent tournaments were also held during which court manners and customs were strictly observed.

The lord of the castle reigned over the entire countryside and a fortress had to be well armed. Arquebusses and crossbows were used to ward off attackers or boiling pitch poured over them from above.  Many knights had difficulty mounting their steeds.  Why? What did they eat? What kind of music did they listen to and how did they dance? What kind of medical treatment was provided?  Learn all the answers and more!

The answers to these questions and much more can be learned from the lady-in-waiting or one of the archbishop's courtiers guiding you on an exciting journey back to the 15th century. 

A lady-in-waiting or one of the archbishop's courtiers will guide you on an exciting journey back to the Middle Ages. You will not only meet the castle residents but will have a chance to try on a coat of armor, draw a crossbow, learn about medieval table manners and customs while preparing for the grand banquet and cast a glance into the archbishops private rooms.  More will not be revealed at this time!

Slip into one of the roles by learning the court dances, tasting a cup of mead and challenge your opponent in a game of jousting.

Optional

After the tour, visitors can relish a hearty knight's meal or typical delicacies from the Lungau region at the Castle Tavern.
