Kehlburg, Medieval castle ruins in Gais, Italy.
The remnants of Castello di Chela stand at 1188 meters elevation, overlooking the Tures Valley and Brunico plain in South Tyrol.
Bishop Albuino purchased the land from nobleman Liuto in 995, transforming a farm into a fortified structure that served the Diocese of Bressanone.
The castle chapel, dedicated to Saint Erasmus since 1113, remains a pilgrimage destination for residents of Gais and surrounding communities.
The ruins are accessible via hiking trail number 2 from Gais village, requiring a one-hour walk through dense forest paths.
A fire in April 1944 severely damaged the castle structure, leaving it in a permanent state of deterioration without subsequent reconstruction.
