Casatsch Castle

At Nalles there is another castle, called Kasatsch Castle.

At the end of the 12th centruy, around 1194, Casatsch Castle has been constructed. The so called Beringburg has been established under the guidance of Ulrich Rufus, the brothers Heinrich and Friedrich von Pitzol as well as Marquard and Hartwig aus Tisens. The bishop Konrad II von Beseno gave the permission to build this castle and also set conditions. In other words the castle had always to be open for the Bishop of Trento and his ministerials, the Counts of Appiano. In its irregular form, the construction reminds on the former modern buildings. It was rent to different servants of the Counts of Appiano.

When this family became extincted, the Counts of Greifenstein took over the castle and handed it over to the pawnbroker family Botsch from Bolzano. Stachlburg Castle, Schneeburg Castle and the Giovanelli family were the subsequent proprietors.
Around 1600 the castle has no longer been inhabited and started to decay. Still today it is unmodified an preserved in its original state, as it has never been changed. In the years between 1999 and 2002 Kasatsch Castle has been restored and consolidated. The castle complex can be visited the whole year round.
