Itter Castle

Itter Castle (Schloss Itter) is a hilltop castle in Itter, Tyrol, rebuilt in the late 19th century on medieval foundations. Perched above the entrance to the Brixental valley, the present building is a 19th/early-20th-century Tudor Revival residence. During World War II it was used as a prison for prominent French detainees and was the scene of the 1945 Battle for Castle Itter.

The shape it held in its prime.

Set atop a wooded knoll above the Brixental valley, the castle presents a tall, square, crenellated keep rising beside a long rectangular main block capped by a continuous battlemented parapet. Pale rendered masonry walls punctuated by narrow pointed-arch (lancet) windows define the facades; a lower residential wing with hipped metal roofs and arched ground-floor openings adjoins an arcaded loggia and external stair. A crenellated outer curtain wall terraces the slope below, with Alpine peaks beyond.
