About Kufstein

Kufstein is a town in the Austrian kingdom of Tyrol, the executive seat of Kufstein District. With a population of about 18,400, it's far the second largest Tyrolean town after the country capital Innsbruck. The greatest landmark is Kufstein Fortress, first cited in the 13th century. Archaeological findings inside the Tischofer Cave in Kaisertal denote a settlement of the place greater than 30,000 years in the past, the oldest lines of human habitation in Tyrol. Incorporated into the Roman Empire in 15 BC, the Inn river fashioned the border between the Roman provinces of Raetia and Noricum.

A church at Caofstein was first noted in a 788 deed issued with the aid of Bishop Arno of Salzburg. At that time, the Lower Inn Valley became a part of the Bavarian realm beneath the Agilolfing duke Tassilo III, who turned into deposed via Charlemagne and replaced with the aid of Prefect Gerold. The Fortress is first documented in 1205 as a possession of the Bishop of Regensburg and the Duke of Bavaria. In the early 14th century, the Wittelsbach emperor Louis IV, additionally Bavarian duke, vested the Kufstein citizens with rights of jurisdiction.
