Turmbach: in Eppan/Berg south west of Eppan you can find this typical Middle Aged living tower.
History: the builder of the tower is unknown. In 1297 the family Heinrich von unteren Turm are mentioned. At the beginning of the 17th century it was passed over to Christoph Payr, archduke Maximillian III’s councillor and writer. Shortly after, the family was made aristocratic and renamed von Payr zu Thurn und Bach. It was later passed on to Mr. Lanzelin and then Anton Walcher. Architectural style: the tower is from the 13th century and is well kept. Stone steps show that the third floor was lived in. It was occupied until the 19th century. The ground floor was first a stable and then turned into a farm. Walking: you pass this building when walking to Matschatsch or Kem Ravine.
