Habsburg Museum

In the historic "Zum Roten Adler" inn on the Piazza della Chiesa, the church square of Laces, you'll find a fascinating private collection curated by Hermann Pegger. The exhibits date back to the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Tyrolean freedom struggles of 1809. Immerse yourself in the era of the Habsburg monarchy and experience the history of the Tyrolean peasant uprisings.

Here, you can marvel at original writings by Habsburg emperors as well as original letters from Andreas Hofer, Josef Speckbacher, and Father Joachim Haspinger. The documents recount the time of Napoleon, the Tyrolean freedom struggles, and the legendary battles at the Bergisel.

Tip: Just 20 kilometres away, in Parcines, another museum is dedicated to the history of the Habsburg monarchy, the Royal and Imperial Museum Bad Egart with its historic restaurant.

How to get to the Habsburg Museum: The "Zum Roten Adler" inn is located on the church square in the centre of Laces. Parking spaces and a bus stop are in the immediate vicinity. The Val Venosta Cycle Path from Merano towards the Resia Pass also passes through Laces.
