- Gandegg Castle
Gandegg Castle
Just above San Michele, in the hamlet of Pigenò, lies Gandegg Castle – an impressive example of noble architecture and a special place of history and culture in Eppan.
Its history dates back to the 15th century: in 1434, a medieval residential tower on this site was mentioned in a document for the first time. In the mid-16th century, Blasius Khuen von Belasi had the complex transformed into a stately castle. To this day, its appearance is defined by the four striking round towers at the corners of the rectangular main building, the imposing surrounding wall and the extensive park. The castle's interior also preserves valuable historical features, including magnificent halls with Renaissance coffered ceilings, intricately decorated doors and tiled stoves dating from the 16th and 17th centuries. The complex also includes the Chapel of Our Lady of the Snows, with its carved altar and historic Humpel organ.
Today, Gandegg Castle is not only an important historic residence but also a place for encounters and cultural exchange. The Eau&Gaz association organises exhibitions, concerts and other cultural events here. Theatre performances and other initiatives also bring these historic walls to life, making the castle a vibrant meeting place for art and culture.
Visiting: Gandegg Castle is privately owned but is open to visitors from March to the end of October, on the first Sunday of each month from 2 pm to 4 pm. Visits can also be arranged by prior request.
