Castle with neighborhood

This unique castle estate in South Tyrol offers an unrivalled combination of historic charm and modern luxury. Situated on the sunny side of the Alps, in the renowned spa town of Merano, the residence combines exclusive living, absolute privacy and a wide range of potential uses.

The 2-hectare site comprises extensive parkland, vineyards and orchards, creating an exceptional atmosphere of tranquillity and elegance. The estate features several lovingly restored residential units, including an exclusive tower flat with a roof terrace, which preserve the castle’s historic character across four storeys.

The stately reception rooms include a bistro with a kitchen, bar and fireside lounge, whilst the impressive orangery, with its two halls and gallery, provides the perfect setting for functions, weddings or corporate events. An underground car park measuring 112 m² and further amenities round off the overall offering.

The castle was first mentioned in a document in 1394 and served as a retreat for the Benedictine monks of Ettal Abbey. In the 19th century, the estate was used to accommodate Empress Sissi’s entourage during her visit to Merano. Between 1922 and 1933, it was a favourite retreat of the composer Richard Strauss. The extensive restoration carried out in 2000 has preserved its historic character whilst complementing it with contemporary design and state-of-the-art living comfort.

A true gem in South Tyrol, combining stylish living with the utmost exclusivity.
