Felberturm Museum Mittersill
In the Felberturm Museum, the history of the mule trade comes to life. You can also learn a lot about the history and development of Mittersill.
The Felberturm tower, which was built in the first half of the 12th century, served the noble lords of Velm as a residential and defence tower. In 1415, the tower fell to the Salzburg archbishops and was converted into a “Diensttroadkasten” in 1470. In 1812, the building, which was distinguished by its herringbone masonry, was auctioned off by the Bavarian government, came into private ownership and finally passed into municipal ownership in 1936. In 1963, the Felberturm was restored in order to establish a museum of local history. In 2019-2021, the Felberturm Museum was redesigned and completely renovated.
Exhibitions – On the ground floor there is an exhibition on the subject of “Saumhandel” (beast of burden trade). On the first floor, the history and development of Mittersill from the market to the elevation of the town is explained.
