Brunnenburg, Medieval castle in Tirolo, Italy

The castle stands on a rocky outcrop beneath Tyrol Castle, with thick stone walls and architectural elements from different construction periods.

Built in the 13th century by the noble Tarant family, the castle changed ownership multiple times before falling into disrepair during the 19th century.

The American poet Ezra Pound lived at Castel Fontana from 1958 to 1962, completing his major work 'The Cantos' within these castle walls.

The agricultural museum inside the castle displays traditional farming equipment and maintains a collection of rare animal breeds including Mangalitza pigs.

Local folklore includes tales of a golden snake and mysterious gold streams flowing from the castle walls into the surrounding grounds.
