Schloss Bruck


Lienz' famous medieval fortress has a museum chronicling the region's history, as well as Roman artefacts, Gothic winged altars and local costumes. The castle tower is used for changing exhibitions; a highlight for art enthusiasts is the Egger-Lienz-Galerie devoted to the emotive works of Albin Egger-Lienz.
