About 700 years old is Starkenberg Castle. The castle was built at the beginning of the 14th century by the then very powerful Starkenberg knights in Tyrol to protect the Via Claudia Augusta and the Salvesen valley. Around 1780, the Imster merchant family Strele acquired the castle and converted it into a palace. Beer for personal use was already brewed at Starkenberg Castle at that time. At the beginning of the 19th century, they began to deliver also outside and therefore expanded the brewery gradually. Over the years, the operation has been brought up to date with the latest technology. Brewing is still done strictly according to the purity law and without any chemical additives. Starkenberg beer is pure nature.
