Trostburg, Medieval castle and military museum in Ponte Gardena, Italy

The castle stands on an elevated position above Valle Isarco valley, featuring marble portals, fortification walls, and a museum displaying regional castle exhibits.

First documented in 1173 as residence of Cunrat de Trosperch, the castle remained under control of Wolkenstein-Trostburg Earls for six centuries.

The Knight's Hall from 1607 contains an ornate coffered ceiling, while the Stately Chamber presents wall paintings dating from 1514.

Access to the castle requires a 15-minute walk via Trostburg Path from Ponte Gardena, with guided tours operating from March through October.

The museum exhibits 86 precise scale models of South Tyrolean castles, offering detailed insights into regional fortress architecture.
