Taufers Castle, Medieval castle in Sand in Taufers, Italy.

Taufers Castle rises on a hill with 64 rooms, featuring wood-paneled walls, Gothic architectural elements, and defensive structures from various construction periods.

The Lords of Taufers established this fortified residence in 1225, which evolved into a residential castle during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.

The castle chapel contains frescoes by Friedrich Pacher, while the furnished chambers display traditional Tyrolean interior design through centuries of regional craftsmanship.

The South Tyrolean Castle Institute manages guided tours through two dozen accessible rooms, including the armory, royal chambers, library, and courtroom.

Children between ages six and twelve participate in the Witching Hour event, exploring the castle with lanterns while learning about local legends.
