Ehrenburg Castle.
The residence of the counts of Künigl is situated in the Puster (Pusteria) Valley on the left bank of the Rienz (Rienza) at the foot of the Getzenberg mountain. The castle, still owned by the Künigl counts, is one of the few fully furnished castles open to the public, thus offering the visitor a view of home décor of the past. This interesting structure is divided into two parts: to the south is the older section which has hardly undergone any structural changes, and to the east is the section which was refurbished in the Baroque style around 1700. The arcaded courtyard, whose architectural harmony is noteworthy, forms the midpoint of the newer part of the castle. An arcade of rounded arches with granite columns and finely worked capitals rises up on three sides. It was restored a few years ago with support from the Messerschmidt Foundation and may be seen today in all its Baroque glory.
