This museum, in the midst of Hellbrunner Schlosspark (Hellbrun Castle Park), is notable not least for its romantic surroundings. Constructed in 1615 as a hunting lodge for Archbishop Markus Sittikus, it now hosts the Folklore Museum which is a part of Salzburg Museum. Exhibitions showcasing the history of popular customs, traditions and religious beliefs are the centerpiece, although the so-called Perchten (styled masks depicting Alpine demons) are arguably the most compelling. Masks such as these are often worn by those taking part in processions during the carnival period; they are traditionally meant to ward off the coming of winter.
