Castle Bruneck, Medieval castle in Bruneck, Italy
The stone fortress stands on a hill above Bruneck, featuring defensive walls, multiple gates, and a central courtyard with Gothic vaulting elements.
Prince Bishop Bruno von Kirchberg constructed the fortress in 1276, which served as a summer residence for religious leaders through several centuries.
The Messner Mountain Museum within the castle displays mountain cultures from different continents through exhibits of daily life, dwellings, and traditions.
The museum operates from 10 AM to 6 PM between May and November, and during winter season from December through April, with closures on Tuesdays.
The castle underwent modern renovation in 2011, incorporating glass and steel elements while maintaining its medieval architectural characteristics.
