This unique castle estate in South Tyrol offers an incomparable combination of historical charm and modern luxury. Situated on the sunny side of the Alps, in the renowned spa town of Merano, the residence combines exclusive living, absolute privacy and versatile usage options.
The 2-hectare property comprises extensive parkland, vineyards and orchards, which create an extraordinary atmosphere of tranquillity and elegance. The property has several lovingly restored residential units, including an exclusive tower apartment with roof terrace, which preserve the historic character of the castle over four floors.
The prestigious function rooms include a bistro with kitchen, bar and fireplace room, while the impressive orangery with two halls and gallery provides the perfect setting for events, weddings or corporate functions.

The castle was first mentioned in a document in 1394 and served as a retreat for the Benedictine monks of the Ettal monastery. In the 19th century, the property was used for Empress Sissi's entourage during her visit to Merano. From 1922 to 1933, it was a favorite residence of the composer Richard Strauss. The extensive restoration in 2000 preserved the historic character while adding contemporary design and modern living comfort.
