CASTLE RUNKELSTEIN – CASTLE OF PICTURES
Castle Runkelstein presents the biggest cycle of medieval paintings with secular themes. Because of that this art-historical jewel is called “castle of pictures”.
The castle was erected by the two brothers Friedrich and Beral, Lords of Wangen.
The brothers Niklaus and Franz Vintler, descendants of an old and wealthy merchant family of Bozen bought the castle in 1385 and let it illuminate inside and outside with the frescoes.
