Castles, palaces and mansions

Castello di Appiano Diroccato

The origin of the castle is certainly not, but according to sources, dates back to the twelfth century. It was the second residence of the Counts of Eppan for security reasons. Inside there is a great historical and artistic heritage: the chapel with its carefully curated frescoes depicting the biblical stories, the medieval elements of the structure and numerous others physical testimonies that you can see easily. Currently the building is the headquarters of a homonymous accommodation facility that offers all the necessary services for visitors.

Residenza Fortificata Breitenberg

Breitenberg is a noble residence of medieval origins that owes its present appearance to Georg von Pertold. It took its name from the title given to him by Pertold's father in 1609. The structure underwent several restorations over the years, but still remained the typical one of the area: the large courtyard, the door with the stone frame, the mullioned windows and the windows with capital. The current owners are the descendants of the Pertold family.
