Sigmundskron Castle, Cultural heritage castle in Bolzano, Italy.
Located between Bolzano and Appiano, Sigmundskron Castle rises on a hill overlooking the Adige River valley and the surrounding mountain ranges.
The castle's origins date to 945 AD under the name Formicaria, and in 1473 Archduke Sigismund of Austria transformed it into a fortress, giving it its current name.
The castle houses the Messner Mountain Museum Firmian, dedicated to the relationship between humans and mountains through permanent exhibitions and art installations.
Visitors can access the castle via a walking path from Frangarto, with admission prices of 15 euros for adults and special rates for students and seniors.
During restoration work in March 2006, workers discovered a Neolithic tomb dating back between 6,000 and 7,000 years within the castle grounds.
