Velthurns Castle.
This castle complex from the 16th cen. served as the summer residence of the prince-bishops of Bressanone (Brixen) until 1803. The deer park of the castle was famous in its day, and there was an enormous outdoor aviary and a fish pond. The main attractions today are the precious Renaissance furnishings with wood paneling, inlay work, carved portals, ceramic stoves, and frescoes. The museum also houses the collection of South Tyrolean artworks from the 15th to 20th cen. which were bought or confiscated between the World Wars by the Italian Ministry of Culture and returned to the Province of South Tyrol in 1990. The scribe's building of the castle houses the Feldthurns Museum with a collection of agricultural and artisan implements. See the opening hours under 'Feldthurns Museum'.
