Culture & Adventure Land

The magic of this region lies within the interplay of things. Medieval castles, prehistoric cultural sites and the Roman settlement "Sebatum" bring ancient times back to life. Fascinating and lasting impressions wherever you go. The past is within one's reach, culture is preserved and tradition still lived.

Castelbadia, interesting crypt dating back to the 11th century, prehistoric findings. Visiting possible daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Michelsburg - the castle was built around year 1000. The history of the castle is closely connected with the history of the Puster Valley (not open for visitors).

Churches:
  • Parish Church of S. Laurentius. The irregular building shows, that the church was built during different periods of time from the 13th to the 16th century. A jewel of the church is the renowned "Mother Mary with Jesus holding grapes" by Michael Pacher. Frescos from the Michael Pacher School can be found in the annexed Egerer Chapel.
  • Pilgrimage Church in Sares - constructed in 1652. The black Mother of god with Jesus Christ is worth a visit.
  • S. Margareth Chruch in Mantana - built in 1483.
  • S. Giovanni in Spital Church in Castelbadia - original construction from the 12th century with a masonry tower. The most important work of art in this church is the larger-than-life Roman Christ (12th century).
