Castles & churches
Historical culture in the Pustertal Valley
Castles, manors, churches and convents can be found anywhere in the world. But the Pustertal Valley has a specially fascinating and diverse choice of them in store. Ancient buildings which tell even older stories, mysterious tales from times long gone, when mysticism and magic was still everywhere to be lived in the valley.Here's a small selection of the many castles and churches of the Kronplatz region:

Neuhaus Castle
GaisTel. +39 0474 504220
info@gais-uttenheim.com
A place full of atmosphere, a castle tavern on a knoll - that’s Neuhaus, more charming than defying but the home of great minds: Oswald von Wolkenstein used to spend some years of his unsettled life here during the beginning of the 15th century and the well-known American poet Ezra Pound used it as a hideaway for himself and his family during the Second World War.
The Parish Church of San Vigilio
