Hasegg Castle

Hasegg Castle was first mentioned in documents in 1465, when the first construction phase had already been completed and a caretaker appointed. Its origins date back to 1296, when a tower in the salt works was mentioned. The castle served to protect the Hall salt works and the Inn bridge. A city fire in 1447 may have prompted its expansion. The structural development was the responsibility of the salt master. Under Emperor Maximilian I, a renovation took place around 1499, creating a hall and several rooms. Around 1500, the Mint Tower was expanded, and around 1515, the chapel wing was erected.
