Eppan Castle Festival 2025

Review

On Sunday, May 25, Hocheppan Castle and Boymont Castle served as the impressive backdrop for a festival that uniquely blended the past and the present: the Eppan Castle Festival. Numerous visitors from near and far didn’t want to miss this experience, and under bright sunshine, a varied program awaited the guests. At Hocheppan Castle, the Knights of Andrian provided spectacular glimpses into life in times gone by—with jousting tournaments, sword fights, rousing dances, and a children’s tournament for the youngest guests. At neighboring Boymont Castle, the Lebrac Association demonstrated its skills in historical maneuvers and thrilled the audience with lively folk dances.

A special highlight was the opening of the art exhibition “Ainst auf Hocheppan” by the Eppan-based artist Rainer Kainrath in the Palas of Hocheppan Castle. Through imaginative works, the exhibition transports visitors back to life at the castle—exploring themes such as knighthood, wine, and history. A replica of the famous “Knödelesserin” fresco is also on display. In addition, in some of his works, Kainrath explores the playful question of whether Martin Luther once stayed at Hocheppan—an idea he brings to life with great creativity. The exhibition will remain open until the end of the season; it’s well worth a visit!

A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who helped make this special day a success: the Knights of Andrian, the Lebrac Association, Anni and Lisa along with the team at the Hocheppan Castle Tavern, Raphael and Lena along with the team at Boymont Castle, and all the other contributors.
