Ambras 2025 Jubilee Castle Feast “Celebrating like in the old days”
15 August 2025 (2 p.m.–7 p.m.)
For the 30th time, Ambras Castle Innsbruck will be transformed into a lively Renaissance venue on 15 August.
The Ambras 2025 Jubilee Castle Feast is all about the special exhibition The Art of Beauty and offers a multifaceted program: exciting guided tours, captivating concerts, delicious cuisine, and interactive experiences in the castle park. Families can enjoy specially designed educational programs that bring the world's oldest museum to life in a playful way.
Special funding requirements Planning this extraordinary anniversary presents several challenges: rising costs and the need to maintain the high quality of this traditional event require additional funding. With your support, we can ensure that this intergenerational festival and cultural summer highlight continues.
30 Years of the Jubilee Castle Feast – and You at the Heart of It!
A celebration for everyone – always with free admission. To keep it that way, we kindly ask for your support.
Ambras Castle is not just a federal museum – we are an independent institution that generates over 50 per cent of our own revenue. Only part of our funding comes from the government; the rest is covered through our own efforts – including donations. That’s why your support is so important. It enables what cannot be achieved through public funding alone.
Exclusive and Limited: Become Part of the Ambras Court
With a donation starting at €500, you can become part of the Ambras Court and join the ceremonial procession in festive attire. You will wear a magnificent costume, elaborately crafted based on historical paintings. Together with the guests of honor, you will step onto the festival stage and celebrate 30 years of Schlossfest Ambras! Please note: the number of costumes is limited!

You may dedicate your donation, for example, – to your partner. – to your children or grandchildren. – to someone who inspires you or whom you wish to thank.
This way, your support becomes visible – and a lasting memory.
