Description Destination

The castle complex from the late Middle Ages once guarded the way to the Jaufen Pass. The oldest part, the free-standing keep, is the only part of the old castle complex that has been preserved.
The five-story tower has been beautifully renovated and has been an outpost of the MuseumPasseier since 2003. The individual floors contain small exhibitions on the history of the castle, on the Schildhöfe, which are typical of the Passeier Valley, and on the Lords of Passeier and the Counts Fuchs. The fourth floor features impressive Renaissance paintings by the well-known painter Bartlme Dill Riemenschneider from 1538. Finally, on the top floor, with an impressive view over the entire valley to Merano, there is a listening station with numerous legends that surround the Jaufenburg.
THE JAUFENBURG IS OPEN EVERY MONDAY FROM JUNE TO SEPTEMBER FROM 10 AM TO 1 PM.
Special in July: family hikes to the Jaufenburg (additional charge of EUR 5 per family). Dates and registration at www.museum.passeier.it
