The more than 750 exposed minerals were found in the Zillertal Alps and in the Alti Tauri mountains:rock crystals represent the ideal crystal and their transparence is a reminder of the eternal ice on the highest peaks, of feldspars, sparkles, violet amethyst, fluorides, apathetic diamonds, emeralds and titanits, which enchant every observer by their deep green. Amongst the biggest smoked quartz in South Tyrol, the famous rock crystal 'ritorto' from the Predoi mine can be found. Museo mineralogico S. Giovanni, 3 39030 Valle Aurina Phone: +39 0474 652145 Fax: +39 0474 652011 e-mail - homepage Brunico - Museo civico (Civic Museum) of BrunicoThe museum was refounded in 1990 and reopened in 1995 in the former stables of the post office. The Civic Museum in Brunico had been first founded in 1912. During the fascistic period the museum was closed (1939-40) and most of the objects were brought to Bolzano. The new museum reobtained part of the artistic collection of the old Civic Museum, including sculptures and paintings of Michael and Friedrich Pacher. Also, the collection of modern graphics of local modern artists is also of great value for the museum. The museum has dedicated one section to the 'graphic and literature' of many modern writers and artists.Museo civico di Brunico Via Bruder Willram, 1 39031 Brunico Phone: +39 0474 553292 Fax: +39 0474 410685 e-mail - homepage Brunico - Museo etnografico (Ethnographic Museum)The ethnographic museum was founded in 1976 and it is one of the oldest provincial museums in South Tyrol. Houses of the middle class and of the lower class can be seen at the imposing residence Mair am Hof, and at the open museum, and also some primitive technical inventions from ancient times.

Back in the times of the nobles from Tures, the two storey building was already being used as a store room for the tens of collections that were divided between the lawyer of the Signori di Tures and the priest of the canon. In 1984 Dean Munter assembled a large number of pieces of art from the churches and chapels of Campo Tures in this store room. The objects on show are not real exhibition pieces of a museum since they are still used for liturgical purposes. A visit to the museum finishes off with the arrival at the parish church, a late gothic master piece.Museo parrocchiale Taufers Via Parrocchia, 14 39032 Campo Tures Phone: +39 0474 678060 The Tures Castle The Castle towers at the entrance to the Valle Aurina Valley. It is crowned by the glaciers of the Aurine Alps and surrounded by forests. At the bottom of the Castle lies the beautiful village of Campo Tures and the vast green Campo di Tures hollow. This is the image that awaits all visitors of the area. Merloned walls and a round arch make it impossible to cross the road that once went past the castle. The path of the castle leads you across a drawbridge over the castle moat, and through a big lancet door into a square court with a round tower at each side. On top of the doors and at the towers you can see the trap-door, from which hot liquids and various other objects, that were once used for protective purposes, were spilled or dropped down onto any daring would-be enemies. Further on, another drawbridge and three gateways can be found. The square tower with the big gate, the two round towers, the battlement parapet to the South and the south-west track (period of construction: the oldest walls date back to the 11th Century, the byarched windows to the middle of the 13th Century and the gothic part was built between 1483 and 1541) date back to the 2nd period. – In the castles court you can see a picturesque fountain, covered by an octagonal roof built in the shape of a pyramid. It is very likely that this used to be a furge. Also the so-called granary is located in the court. It is a high building with three rows of gothic windows over the ground floor. In the sout-west track, which is well restored, some habitable areas con be found. The Masters of Tures, a noble family and one of the most famous houses in Tyrol, used to live in the castle before the 13th Century. The Tures family died out way back in 1340. In 1977 the castle became the property of the Südtiroler Burgeninstitut (Southtyrolian Castles Institute). During the 15th and 16th Century the castle was used as a home. The castle is completely furnished and it was preserved very well. That is why the Castello di Tures Castle is considered to be one of the biggest and most beautiful castles in the whole tyrolian area. About two thirds of the 64 rooms are panelled with wood. The fresco-paintings of Friedrich Pacher in the chapel are particularily precious. Tures Castle Via Winkel, 4 39032 Campo Tures Phone: +39 0474 678543 e-mail - homepage Ehrenburg (Casteldarne)The former residence of the Earls of Künigl is located in Puster Valley at the left bank of the Rienza river and at the bottom of the Gezzo mountain. The castle is still property of the Earls of Künigl and it is one of the few castles, that are still fully furnished. Thanks to this meticulous preservation, the castle provides evidence of the life style of the former upper class. This interesting building has two faces: one is the old wing that has barely changed since, and towards the East, the baroque section dating back to 1700. The important court in the shape of an arch, its harmonic architecture and its particularity and beauty make up the centre of the newest part of the castle. On three sides tower arches rest on granite columns with capitells that are designed in the finest manner. Thanks to the help of the Messerschmid Foundation the castle was restored only a few years ago and appears now in its baroque vestments.Castel Ehrenburg Casteldarne 39030 Chienes Phone: +39 0474 565221 Fax: +39 0474 565221 |
