Lanserhaus Gallery and Archaeological Exhibition

The Lanserhaus in San Michele Appiano houses one of South Tyrol's most significant art galleries. This restored complex of buildings, converted into a cultural centre roughly two decades ago, comprises several structures. Seminars and art exhibitions take place in the historic rooms. The Raiffeisen Forum, a renovated former farm building, provides two halls equipped with state-of-the-art technology and a Steinway grand piano, creating the perfect setting for concerts.

Museum enthusiasts will also find something to their liking at the Lanserhaus: A permanent archaeological exhibition offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of settlement in the municipality. This history stretches far back in time - not far from the Lanserhaus, the remains of a Roman villa, with magnificent architecture and remarkably well-preserved mosaic floors dating back to the 4th century AD, were recently uncovered. The archaeological exhibition in the vaulted hall of the residence tells the story of 10,000 years of history in Appiano on the Wine Road.

Here, you'll discover a wealth of details from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages. Original finds are on display, including Neolithic arrowheads and crossbow bolts from the age of chivalry, on loan from the Bolzano Municipal Museum and the South Tyrolean Office for Archaeological Heritage.

How to get to the exhibition: The Lanserhaus is located in the centre of San Michele. Parking is available nearby. The Appiano bus route 135.3 stops at the Church of St. Joseph, just a four-minute walk from the manor.
