Culture
The castle stands in a land of layered, living culture. A place of contrasts and harmony: German, Italian and Ladin intertwine, each carrying its own stories and worldviews.
The area surrounding Castel Badia unfolds as a rich weave of art, history and tradition. On Plan de Corones, LUMEN dedicated to Dolomites photography, and the Messner Mountain Museum explore the relationship between humans and peaks, between adventure and contemplation. The story continues in the valley: the South Tyrolean Museum of Folk Culture preserves the memory of Alpine rural life, while the ECK Museum of Art offers a perspective on modern and contemporary art. In the forests, wartime bunkers survive: some transformed into museums, others used for cheese ageing, offering tastings steeped in history and family stories. Nearby, Brunico retains the slow rhythm of a mountain town, with artisan shops, markets, historic cafés and museums blending naturally.
Among Romanesque and Gothic churches, frescoed chapels, historic farmsteads and small museums scattered throughout the villages, culture here is discovered step by step, immersing oneself in the landscape and in local traditions.
