The imperial Burg Wels is a palace-like castle in the southeast of the town centre of Wels (Upper Austria). The building, which goes back to the Middle Ages, was among others in the possession of the Babenbergs and the Habsburgs. Today the building is owned by the town and houses the Wels municipal museum and the Museum of the Expellees.
