Course locations

The Hohensalzburg Fortress, a medieval castle located in the centre of the city of Salzburg, offers students a working environment in a historical context.

The studios are located in the so-called "Schüttkasten" within the castle grounds, which is a self-contained area on the fortress hill above Salzburg and at the same time an integral part of the historic city centre.

Lesson times are from Monday to Friday and are set by the course instructors at the fortress and in the quarry.

The course begins on the first day of the course at 10 a.m. at the respective course location and ends with a final exhibition on the last Friday and Saturday morning of the course. The last Saturday of each course is used to dismantle and tidy up the studios (until 1 pm).
