Castle Englar

Castle Englar stands on elevated ground with defensive walls, towers, and architectural elements that combine residential comfort with military fortification elements.

The structure evolved from its medieval origins as a defensive fortress into an aristocratic residence, reflecting the changing needs of South Tyrolean nobility through centuries.

The castle represents the Ansitz architectural style, a specific type of noble residence found in South Tyrol that merges Italian and Germanic building traditions.

Visitors can access the castle grounds through guided tours that explain the architectural features, historical significance, and connection to local wine production.

The castle chapel contains religious artworks and continues to serve as a ceremonial space for the local community of Eppan an der Weinstraße.
