Kroell tower

The Kroell tower rises up to the sky on a forested hill above Gargazzone.

This tower above Gargazzone has been built by a certain Berthold Chrell close to a 40 m high waterfall of the Aschlerbach river. Above the entrance consisting of a circular arc you can see the emblem of the first owner of the church, mentioned above and coming from Matrei at Passo del Brennero.

The collapsed wall of the donjon has been rebuilt several years ago. Apparently round the tower there was also a castle complex. Great hall and circular wall are, however, only preserved as heap of stones. This castle ruin can be visited at any time. On the road to the castle you come across smooth rocks which have been abraded by the glaciers in the Ice Age.

Today the Kroell tower is illustrated on the emblem of Gargazzone.
