Fahlburg, Renaissance castle in Prissian, South Tyrol, Italy.

The fortress displays traditional architectural elements with wooden ceilings, historical tiled stoves, and artworks by Baroque painter Stefan Kessler throughout its halls.

Originally built as the Tower of Vall in the 13th century, Jakob Andra von Brandis acquired the castle in 1597 and completed its Renaissance transformation by 1640.

The medieval minnesinger Oswald von Wolkenstein composed songs during his imprisonment at the castle under the custody of Barbara Jager.

The castle serves as an event location between Merano and Bolzano, offering spaces for weddings, conferences, and concerts throughout the year.

The castle chapel features an unusual two-level design with a consecrated sanctuary, distinguishing it from other religious spaces in South Tyrolean castles.
