The Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle

The Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle spread across 12 hectares, featuring 80 distinct garden landscapes with plants from multiple continents around a central lily pond.

Count Joseph von Trauttmansdorff initiated the original gardens in 1850, while the current botanical collection was established between 1994 and 2001 after years of disuse.

The South Tyrolean Museum of Tourism within Trauttmansdorff Castle presents 200 years of regional tourism through detailed reconstructions and interactive installations.

The gardens remain accessible from March to November, with extended evening hours during summer months and special rates for families and children under six years.

The gardens incorporate ten artistic pavilions and the Thun'sche Gucker viewing platform, which resembles giant binoculars overlooking the botanical landscapes.
