What to see

The heart of the village is very old and boasts magnificent guesthouses, neat farmhouses, impressive residences and also a Gothic church and a Renaissance castle dating from 1577 and surrounded by battlements.

This, the former summer residence of the prince bishops of Brixen, is now where ancient rural tradition and modern village culture meet in the form of concerts and open-air plays which are always unique.

Schloß Velthurns
The Schloß (castle) Velthurns was built by the Bishop of Brixen between 1577 and 1587. Of particular note are the panelling, inlay work, carved portals and wooden ceilings – all of which count amongst the most significant works of Renaissance carving in the southern German area.
The best of these works is the gilded coffered ceiling in the prince's room with its delicate inlay work. Until its secularisation in 1803, the castle was the summer residence of the bishops of Brixen. Thereafter it at first belonged to the crown, then later became private property and was subsequently given to the town of Bolzano by Johannes ll, Prince of Liechtenstein. On the 18th June 1978, it became the property of the province of South Tyrol.
