When late November fills the air of Molini di Tures with the scent of roasted chestnuts and mulled wine, the Saint Catherine Market brings the village to life. The traditional fair transforms the streets into a scene of music, dance, craftsmanship, and regional flavours such as cheese, speck, and honey. Among the most popular delicacies are Melchamuis, a sweet, creamy blend of milk, flour, and butter, and Schöttina Kropfn, crispy fried pastries filled with poppy seeds or chestnuts. People meet, chat, laugh, and enjoy the festive atmosphere together. What is now a beloved village celebration has deep roots: as early as the 17th century, farmers and craftsmen gathered here to sell their goods. Even today, the reading of the ancient market decree in Benjamin Square brings the past to life – a moment when history can be felt and tradition continues to thrive.

The hollow and smooth sound of the church bells, or even the friendly bells of local cows and farm animals – every bell has his own importance.
