Velturno Local Museum

The small museum in Velturno village is located in the former chancellery of Velturno Castle, a magnificent Renaissance building from the 16th century. You'll find a collection of agricultural equipment and tools once used in viticulture and woodworking. The castle itself is also worth a visit. The interior of Velturno Castle houses significant Renaissance art treasures, among the most important in southern Germany.

You can visit the ground-floor chapel, built in memory of Catherine of Madruzzo, mother of Prince-Bishop Spaur. The rooms on the first and second floors are also accessible, including the chaplain's room, the bedroom, the prince's room, the magnificent majolica stove, and the "Wonders of the World" cycle with murals by Pier Maria Bagnadore (1550–1627).

The Velturno Local Museum (Heimatmuseum Feldthurns) is complemented by the Archeoparc Velturno, opened in 2008. The megalithic complex consists of stone circles, burial mounds, and elliptical structures. Velturno Castle exhibits findings from a Bronze Age ritual site in the village.

How do get to the castle: It stands directly on the village road in the main town of Velturno and has a car park behind the building.
