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—a part of Salzburg's municipal Carolino Augusteum 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.
