Liedl, Cultural heritage monument in Prissian, South Tyrol.
Liedl is a former Ansitz in Prissian, built in the late Romanesque–early Gothic style with a medieval core. A tower was added on its side in the mid-16th century, along with the wood panelling in the Stube. The building is a protected monument and part of it now houses holiday apartments.
Built in the 14th century as the Nimmerbecksche Behausung, the house was extended over time; a side tower and the parlour panelling were added in the mid-16th century. It takes its name from the Lidl von Mayenburg family, who moved to Prissian after selling Mayenburg in 1648 and owned the house by 1680/81 under Franz Jakob von Lidl. The family died out in 1791, and the property passed to farmers. A fire on 20 June 1862 destroyed the first floor and roof; the Ebner family has owned it since 1873, and it was listed as a monument on 3 June 1965.
The name Liedl comes from the noble Lidl von Mayenburg family, who moved to Prissian after selling Mayenburg Castle in 1648. Franz Jakob von Lidl owned the house in 1680/81, and the family, which also inherited Katzenzungen Castle in 1706, died out in the male line in 1791. The house later passed into farming hands.
Liedl stands in Prissian, in the municipality of Tisens in South Tyrol. Part of the building now holds holiday apartments, so the interior is not open to casual visitors; the tower and the late Romanesque-Gothic core are best seen from the village lane outside.
The fire of 20 June 1862 broke out while the owner Kaspar Pallweber and his wife were working in the fields; their sons, alone at home, had been playing with matches. The blaze destroyed the first floor and the roof, and Pallweber had to auction the farm by 1870 for financial reasons.
