Kufstein Fortress The Kufstein Fortress (German: Festung Kufstein) is the main landmark of Kufstein, a city of Tyrol in Austria. It is sometimes wrongly referred to as Geroldseck. It is located on a hill commanding Kufstein proper. History The fortress is mentioned for the first time in a document from 1205, where it is called Castrum Caofstein. At the time it was a possession of the bishop of Regensburg. In 1415 it was reinforced by Louis VII, Duke of Bavaria. In 1504 the city and the fortress were besieged and conquered by Emperor Maximilian I. From 1703 to 1805 it was a Bavarian possession, returning to Austria in 1814. The fortress now houses the City Museum of Kufstein. Part of it is also used for concerts and meetings.
