The “Hofkeller” was first mentioned in documents at the beginning of the 14th century. It has a massive gable roof. It was once the seat of the feudal administration, which passed from the Lords of Salorno/Salurn to the Counts of Tyrol. On the east side of the building, on the ground floor, there is a large hall with a cross vault supported by two rows of seven slender columns made of Prun stone and by pilasters. The imposing building already impressed the first South Tyrolean chronicler Marx Sittich von Wolkenstein, as he wrote in his description of Tyrol published in 1600.
Le rocche sono inoltre la testimonianza di un’economia prospera e della cultura di un paese, che da sempre rappresenta un importante collegamento tra il nord e il sud. Molte di esse risalgono all’XI e XII secolo, quando i regnanti dell’epoca le fecero costruire per sorvegliare i loro territori. Venite a scoprire la storia delle loro vecchie mura, che, grazie a restauri accurati, offrono oggi una cornice unica a musei, alberghi, ristoranti o luoghi per eventi.
