Landesfürstliche Burg, Gothic castle museum in Merano, Italy

The Landesfürstliche Burg features preserved wood-paneled parlors, bedrooms, and furniture from the Gothic and Renaissance periods spanning three exhibition floors.

Initially constructed in 1470 as a residence for Sigismund of Austria, the castle later became an administrative center for the Counts of Tyrol.

The museum collection includes medieval weapons, kitchen tools, ceramic stoves, musical instruments, and a chapel with 16th-century frescoes.

Located behind the town hall, the museum opens from Easter until January 6th, with adult admission at 5 euros and free entry for visitors under 18.

In 1875, citizens and international media successfully protested against plans to demolish the castle for a school, leading to its preservation.
