Laimburg, Medieval castle ruins near Vadena, Italy
The stone fortification stands above the Adige River valley, featuring remaining perimeter walls and a partial central tower at 46.38 degrees north latitude.
The Lords of Laimburg constructed the fortress in 1230, which later became a judicial seat for the Caldaro region until the fifteenth century.
Archaeological investigations between 1999 and 2001 revealed multiple construction phases and architectural elements from different periods of South Tyrolean defensive structures.
Visitors reach the castle ruins by taking the Egna exit from A22 motorway, following signs to Laimburg, then ascending a narrow road through mountain curves.
The Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry Laimburg, located near the castle ruins, carries its name and conducts experiments in viticulture and farming methods.
