Loaction
Berneck is located near Kauns, on the opposite side of the Oberinntal valley from Laudegg Castle, and in the Kaunertal valley. The castle sits on top of a large rock close to the Faggenbach river

History
Castel Berneck was first documented in 1225, but a much older fortress seems to have existed at the site before the current incarnation of Bernegg.

Bernegg has changed numerous times in history: in 1435, it was purchased by the Swiss Hans Wilhelm von Mülinen, who transformed the castle into a larger, Gothic complex.
