For anyone who wants to experience history rather than simply read about it, the Hall Mint offers a particularly fascinating excursion. Within the historic walls of Hasegg Castle, visitors can discover how coins were made in the past and learn about Hall’s important role in the history of money.

During our visit, we first explored the museum before making our way up the famous Mint Tower. The combination of historic machinery, fascinating information and impressive architecture makes the tour a memorable experience.

Whether for history enthusiasts, families or guests looking to discover a different side of Tyrol, the Hall Mint offers an interesting journey into the past.

 

 

A Journey Through the History of Money

The Hall Mint Museum is located within the medieval Hasegg Castle. Coins were produced within its historic walls for centuries. Today, exhibits, historic coins and impressive minting machines tell the story of this significant past.

During our tour, we gained a fascinating insight into the development of coin minting. Particularly impressive were the large machines used to work the metal and shape it into the finished coins.

The exhibition clearly demonstrates just how much knowledge, craftsmanship and technical precision were required to produce a coin. In this way, a subject that we often take for granted in everyday life becomes tangible and engaging.

 

 

Hall – the Birthplace of the Taler

Hall in Tirol played an important role in European monetary history. The Taler was minted here – a coin whose name later became the linguistic origin of the word “dollar”.

Historic coins and various stations throughout the exhibition illustrate how methods of producing money changed over the centuries.

 

 

 

 

Up to the Top of the Coin Tower

After visiting the museum, our tour continued up the Mint Tower. The distinctive tower is one of Hall’s most famous landmarks and can be seen from afar.

The climb leads through historic rooms and narrow staircases, taking visitors higher and higher into the tower. Along parts of the route, light and sound effects create a unique and atmospheric experience.

Once at the top, the effort is rewarded with an impressive panoramic view. From the tower lantern, visitors can look out over Hall’s medieval old town, the Inn Valley and the surrounding mountain landscape, including the Karwendel mountain range.

The tower is also known as the home of Hall’s resident kestrels.

At the end of the tour, visitors also have the opportunity to have their own coin minted, creating a personal souvenir to remember their visit.
