Culture

Beyond the castle

Stories woven into the landscape

The castle stands in a land of layered, living culture, expressed through language, daily gestures and ways of inhabiting the landscape. 

A place of contrasts and harmony: German, Italian and Ladin intertwine, each carrying its own stories and worldviews. Villages preserve ancient crafts, alpine farms reflect a direct bond with the land, while local cuisine renews tradition into contemporary experience. 

Nearby, Brunico retains the slow rhythm of a mountain town, with artisan shops, markets, historic cafés and museums blending naturally. 

On Plan de Corones, LUMEN and the Messner Mountain Museum explore the relationship between humans and mountains, between adventure and contemplation. In the forests, wartime bunkers survive: some transformed into museums, others used for cheese ageing, offering tastings steeped in history and family stories. 

A journey of encounters, stories and silences, where each detail reveals itself slowly, forming a single, compelling mosaic.
