Cloister | Bressanone

How top reach the Cloister

One of the most important monuments of art in South Tyrol

The Bressanone Cathedral cloister is one of the most important monuments of art in South Tyrol. The cloister is famous in particular for its Gothic frescoes. It was originally built in pre Romanesque times but later redesigned in Romanesque and Gothic style. The depiction of an elephant (3rd arch) and the Adoration of the Magi (13th arch) are particularly worth seeing.
With the adjacent buildings Bressanone Cathedral, St. John’s Chapel and the Church of our Lady, the “Cloister” is the centre of the cathedral district.

Parish Church | San Paolo

How to reach the Parish Church

This is the most impressive building in San Paolo | Appiano and stands in the centre of the village.

It is clearly visible that this was one of the richest parishes in the district. It was tradition to subsidise the church, and due to all the aristocratic residents, money was no problem. The Parish was divided into Girlan | Eppan (Girlan, Schreckbichl, and Frangart) and St. Pauls | Eppan (St. Pauls, St. Michael, Montiggl, Berg, Missian, Unterrain, Perdonig and Gaid) in 1786. In 1921 the main parish of St. Michael | Eppan was transformed into the new parish of St. Michael | Eppan together with Montiggl | Eppan, Gand | Eppan, Pigeno | Eppan and the southern part of Berg | Eppan.

Thanks to the generous contributions, the building of a particularly exquisite church was started in 1484. The building was completed in 1533, but that was only the church. The 86 m high tower was erected between the late 15th century and the middle of the 17th century. Thus the two styles of architecture. The lower and middle parts are Gothic and the upper part, with its onion shaped dome, is Baroque. Inside the tower there are 9 bells, the heaviest of which weighs 5 tons and is the second biggest in South Tyrol. Other sights to be found are a sundial dating from 1718, funeral monuments to the aristocratic families Firmian, Khuen, and Thun, and rests of late Gothic paintings. The church in St. Pauls | Eppan is the only church far and wide to be named only after St. Paul as usually St. Paul is found together with St. Peter.

Castle Gandegg | Appiano

How to reach the Castle Gandegg

Castle Gandegg in in the district Pigenò in San Michele | Appiano is a massive appearance. Originally there was an old farm, the Maierhof. In the 15th and 16th century Gandegg Castle was built on the land.
The castle does not correspond so at all to the actual building method of that time. The new aristocratic seats, which were built at this time instead of the fortified castles, replaced the high-lying castles of the aristocratic families. These new aristocratic seats no longer had mountain peace and ring walls. The oriel towers and enclosing walls of Gandegg Castle were also no longer important; they were only intended to have an optical effect and give the building a castle-like appearance.The late medieval residential tower inside the complex was first mentioned in a document around 1434 and was owned by the lords of Annenberg. Under the Counts of Khuen of Belasi, who were lent Gandegg Castle in 1543, a generous extension took place, which gave the castle its present appearance. The neighbouring castle of Englar still belongs to this noble family today.
The main building of Gandegg Castle is surrounded by a large park protected by a high wall, and on the south-western flank the complex is delimited by farm buildings with late-Gothic building elements.
The rooms inside are magnificent, there are numerous halls with coffered ceilings, hinged doors with richly decorated inlays and tiled stoves from the 16th and 17th centuries.

Abbazia di Novacella | Bressanone

How to reach the Abbazia di Novecella

Abbazia di Novacella was founded by the blessed bishop Hartmann in 1142 as an Augustinian monastery. Thanks to its monastery school it became one of the most important centre of education and art. In 1742 the monastery was the largest in Tyrol, the Romanesque abbey church of Abbazia di Novacella was redesigned in Baroque style. Unique at Abbazia di Novacella is the round building of Castello dell’Angelo, former hostel and defence facility. The Gothic cloister benefits from valuable frescoes, while the well in the courtyard depicts the wonders of the world. The 8th wonder is said to be Novacella. The Rococo library in Abbazia di Novacella is uniquely beautiful, the Pinacoteca houses medieval paintings by outstanding masters Michael and Friedrich Pacher and Marx Reichlich. The Turkish wall dates back to turbulent times. The mill, water buildings and wine cellar point to the economic importance of the monastery. The area around Abbazia di Novacella is the northernmost winegrowing region of South Tyrol with the well-known white wines Sylvaner, Müller Thurgau and Kerner.

Castle Trostburg | Ponte Gardena

How to reach castle Trostburg

Castel Trostburg or Castel Forte – “Trostburg” in German -, one of the most splendid castles of South Tyrol, is located on a natural rocky promontory above Ponte Gardena (Waidbruck). The history of the castle dates back to the 12th century – it was mentioned for the first time in 1173 as place of residence of a certain “Cunrat de Trosperch” (Konrad of Trostberg), descending from the Lords of Castelrotto. In 1290, the castle was passed on from the Lords of Velturno to the Lords of Tyrol, who put the castle in pawn. For about 600 years the castle remained in possession of the Earls of Wolkenstein-Trostburg, one of the main nobilities of Tyrol. In those times, the Mediaeval composer and poet Oswald von Wolkenstein grew up here (1377 – 1445).

Between the 14th and the 16th century, the castle was fundamentally enlarged and once more in the 17th century, under Engelhard Dietrich of the nobility Wolkenstein-Trostburg. In 1981, the castle was passed on into the hands of the South Tyrolean Castle Institute and thus was saved from decay. This institution strives for maintaining the special character of the castle and for making it available for public. Since 2005, Castel Trostburg has been hosting the South Tyrolean Castles Museum. Still today it is in a good state thanks to restoration and maintenance works.

There are Roman archways and arched windows, majestic panels and rooms dating back to the 16th and 17th century as well as mouldings of Renaissance in the interior of Castel Trostburg. Worth to be visited are especially the Gothic Stube with panels and richly decorated beam ceiling as well as the library, which is one of the most famous of its day.
