Lanegg Castle

Lanegg Castle is located in the Tyrolean market town of Brixlegg, north of Mehrn in the cadastral community of Zimmermoos, on Faberstrasse.

The building, which is a protected monument, also known as Lanegg Tower and Lanegg Manor, was first mentioned in documents in 1568. From 1600 to the beginning of the 19th century, the castle was owned by the Faber von Lanegg family.

The probably late medieval building is a squat, four-story residential tower with an almost square floor plan. A round stair tower was added in the 16th century. Above the entrance door are painted coats of arms, the Imperial Eagle and the Tyrolean Eagle. Above them are scattered Gothic windows. The irregularly arranged light slits in the basement are original, while the regularly arranged windows on the residential floors are modern. In the north facade on the second floor, on a richly profiled console, stands the 16th-century figure of the Standing Madonna with Child.
