Fragsburg, Medieval castle in Merano, Italy
Located at 727 meters above sea level, Castel Verruca stands as the highest fortification of Merano, with views of the surrounding mountains.
Otto von Auer, vassal of the Counts of Tyrol, constructed the castle during the second half of the 13th century on a site with prehistoric fortifications.
The Memminger patricians of Merano transformed the structure into a hunting lodge in 1620, adding the main palace section visible today.
The castle became accessible to the public after 1904 when the Counts of Deuster converted it into a hotel and built the current access road.
During World War II, the castle lost its original furnishings except for items in the chapel and two rooms, which partially survived.
