Baumgarten in Auer, Cultural heritage monument in South Tyrol, Italy.

Baumgarten is a village castle converted into an Ansitz in Auer, South Tyrol, with a narrow horseshoe-shaped ground plan. A gate tower separates the small inner courtyard from the outer yard, and newer additions project on the courtyard side. The residential wing has a flat bay window with a corbelled crenellated gable, and the low ring wall holds a pointed-arch portal.

Baumgarten began as a medieval village castle, later converted into an Ansitz. Its present form dates to the early 17th century, when the horseshoe-shaped layout with the gate tower and inner courtyard was consolidated. Since 9 June 1975 the complex has been protected as a monument, covering plots 11/1 to 11/4 in Auer.

The name Baumgarten comes from the large orchard that belongs to the estate. The complex also includes farm and ancillary buildings; the farm building's roof rests on round stone columns. The residential wing has a flat oriel with a crenellated gable on corbels, and the low ring wall holds a pointed-arch portal.

The complex stands in the village of Auer in the Adige Valley south of Bozen, with the gate tower closing off the inner courtyard from the outer one. It is a private, protected monument, so visitors view the pointed-arch portal in the low ring wall and the crenellated gable from outside. The site lies on plots 11/1 to 11/4 in the municipality of Auer.

The name Baumgarten comes from the large orchard attached to the estate, not from the buildings themselves. The medieval layout is a narrow horseshoe, and a gate tower still separates the small inner courtyard from the outer yard, with newer additions projecting on the courtyard side.
