Only 15 minutes of walking from the village’s centre you will find the castle Andrain-Wolfsthurn, built in the 13th century.
Small, old and yet impressive: the tower.
In the midst of the protected forest of Andrian with a view onto the mighty mountains of the Dolomites.
The Herren of Andrian are likely to have been the first owners of the fortified tower. In 1430, the “Wölfe von Mareit”, a family from Sterzing/Vipiteno became the owners. This is how it got the name “Wolfsthurn”.
Today, castle Wolfsthurn is owned by the Baron Kripp and is used as a bio-farm with the possibility of vacating alongside the farmers.
Castle Wolfsthurn is located above the village Andrian near Bozen/Bolzano. The lonely tower rises through the forest, once likely part of a small fortified castle in the 13th century.
