Zenoburg, Medieval castle in Merano, Italy
The castle stands on a rocky elevation at the entrance of Val Passiria, featuring a tower, residential wing, garden, and chapel within its walls.
Romans established a military post called Castrum Maiensis at this location to control trade routes, leading to the construction of fortifications in the 13th century.
The chapel contains the graves of Saint Corbinian and Saint Valentine, making it a notable religious site in South Tyrol's medieval heritage.
The castle grounds offer clear views into the Passeier Valley and the town of Merano below, with recent openings for public access.
The earliest known representation of the Tyrolean eagle remains visible above the castle portal, marking its connection to regional governance.
