Felsenreitschule

The Felsenreitschule is a historic theatre located in Salzburg, Austria, built into the sandstone cliffs of the city’s old town. Originally constructed in the late 16th century as a riding school for training horses for royal events, it features a striking architecture that blends into the natural rock formations. Today, it serves as a venue for theatrical performances, particularly during the Salzburg Festival, known for its unique setting that combines natural geology with cultural history. Its remarkable location and ambiance make it one of Salzburg’s most distinctive performance spaces.
