Wolfsthurn Castle, Cultural heritage castle in Ratschings, Italy.
Wolfsthurn Castle stands on a hill above Mareit at the entrance of Ridnaun valley, featuring 365 windows and 52 doors in its Baroque design.
Franz Andrä von Sternbach acquired the original castle in the 18th century and constructed the current Baroque complex, which remains in family ownership.
The castle functions as the South Tyrolean Museum of Hunting and Fishing since 1996, displaying indigenous wildlife specimens and traditional hunting implements.
Visitors can explore three floors of exhibitions, including staterooms with original furniture, interactive wildlife displays, and cultural-historical presentations about hunting.
The castle's architectural elements correspond to calendar measurements: 365 windows for days, 52 doors for weeks, 12 chimneys for months, and 4 portals for seasons.
