Impressions of the castle

Permanent exhibition in the South Tyrolean Castle Museum

An essential part of the South Tyrolean Castle Museum is the Trostburg. The permanent exhibition of the South Tyrolean Castle Museum Trostburg “Castles – Buildings of History ” presents 86 scale models of South Tyrolean castles.
The exhibition begins with an introductory section into the world of South Tyrolean castles, where you can make interesting comparisons between the individual castles. Models from the years 1923–1963 offer a wonderful opportunity to get to know several very diverse objects. The last part of the exhibition focuses on the biography of the model-maker Ludwig Mitterdorfer (1885–1963) and the castle researcher Josef Weingartner (1885–1957), as well as the founding of the South Tyrolean Castle Institute in 1963.
