Castle Lichtenberg, Castle ruin in Prad am Stilfserjoch, Italy
The stone remnants of Castle Lichtenberg stand at 915 meters elevation near the entrance to Stilfserjoch National Park, overlooking Val Venosta valley.
The 12th-century fortress served as a strategic guard point for the Adige River bend between Upper and Lower Val Venosta, controlled by the Counts of Tyrol.
The castle chapel contains medieval frescoes, while additional secular artworks from the castle are preserved at the Tyrolean State Museum Ferdinandeum in Innsbruck.
The castle ruins remain open for exploration throughout the year, with art-historical guided tours available from May through October for detailed site interpretation.
The fortress holds one of the few remaining secular fresco cycles from medieval South Tyrol, marking its significance among regional defensive structures.
