Greetings, esteemed castle and chateau enthusiasts! Today, I have the great pleasure of delving into the remarkable history and captivating stories surrounding one of Europe's most splendid fortresses - Tures Castle. As a devoted castle expert, I am eager to take you on a journey through time, uncovering the secrets and grandeur of this architectural gem.

A Tale of Majesty Unfolds: Perched atop a majestic hill in the picturesque Ahrntal Valley of South Tyrol, Italy, Tures Castle stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of the past. Its origins can be traced back to the 12th century, when it emerged as a modest fortification guarding a vital trading route through the Alps. Over the centuries, this fortress underwent multiple renovations and expansions, transforming into the awe-inspiring masterpiece we see today.

Architecture that Defies Time: The architectural prowess exhibited in Tures Castle is nothing short of astonishing. Constructed primarily from rough-hewn stone, it boasts an imposing outer curtain wall adorned with crenellations, watchtowers, and arrow slits that hint at its former defensive role. The keep, an emblem of power, majestically rises from within the walls, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

As we traverse the labyrinthine halls, we encounter a fusion of architectural styles reflecting the diverse influences of the castle's many custodians. Romanesque arches transition gracefully into Gothic vaults, and Renaissance frescoes adorn the walls, evoking a sense of enchantment and timeless beauty.

Legends and Tales of the Inhabitants: Now, let me regale you with some of the enthralling tales of those who once walked these very halls, shaping the destiny of Tures Castle.

One such legend revolves around the enigmatic Lady Isabella, who is said to have been the fairest lady in the land. The story goes that her heart was torn between two brave knights, leading to a rivalry that culminated in a duel within the castle's courtyard at dawn. This tragic event etched a melancholic aura upon the fortress, and some claim that Lady Isabella's ghost still roams the castle, seeking solace from her eternal longing.

Furthermore, history tells us of the courageous Count Ulrich, who, during a tumultuous siege, led the defenders in a valiant stand against overwhelming odds. His unwavering determination to protect the castle and its inhabitants echoes through the annals of time, immortalizing him as a symbol of resilience and honor.

Tures Castle and the Tyrolean Rebellion: The castle also witnessed its fair share of historical events that significantly impacted the region. During the Tyrolean Rebellion of 1809, the castle became a bastion of resistance against the Napoleonic forces. It sheltered local fighters who refused to succumb to the invading armies, and it is said that the castle's impenetrable defenses played a pivotal role in thwarting the enemy's advances.

Mysteries Unearthed: As we tread upon the time-worn cobblestones, there's an undeniable air of mystery that permeates every nook and cranny. Whispers of hidden tunnels, secret chambers, and long-lost treasure have intrigued adventurers and treasure hunters for generations. Though many have attempted to unveil these enigmas, the castle's mysteries remain closely guarded, leaving us to imagine the untold wonders that may lie concealed within its ancient walls.

A Modern Marvel: Even in contemporary times, Tures Castle continues to captivate hearts and minds, drawing visitors from around the world to bask in its unparalleled beauty and historical significance. Meticulous restoration efforts have preserved its splendor, allowing us to savor the magnificence of bygone eras while simultaneously cherishing its relevance in the present day.

Tures Castle stands as a timeless testament to human ingenuity, fortitude, and the enduring allure of history. Each stone, each passageway, and each tale told within its walls speak of the triumphs and tribulations of our ancestors, and it beckons us to unravel the secrets...

A really nice medieval castle with lots of rooms to explore and an interesting guided tour. The lady that guided the tour was super nice, and despite the tour being in German, explained a lot to us in English and answered all our questions. It was an amazing experience.

PARKING: There is a good free parking available at the nearby town (Parkhaus Pavillon on Google Maps) with many parking places and 90-180 minutes of free parking. But the walk/hike from there takes 20-30 minutes, and part of it is pretty intense, especially if you are coming with a stroller or senior family members.

That is why it makes sense to drive first directly to the castle (Taufers Castle as a destination). There is a small (10-15 cars) parking right next to the castle, and you can park there for 90 minutes for free. Even if it’s full, you can still drive back to the Parkhaus Pavillon in...

Il Castello di Tures è struttura più bella esternamente che internamente, comunque ricco di storia e non fa mai male arricchirsi di nuove informazioni e avere la possibilità di approfondire nuove conoscenze. La mia visita e non solo la mia, non può che trasformarsi in una recensione negativa per come è stata gestita l'intera visita guidata. Innanzitutto è la prima volta che mi capita di fare una visita di gruppo costituita da più di 50 persone forse anche 60. Inizialmente siamo stati letteralmente stipati nella prima stanza da cui parte la visita, tra adulti e bambini a fatica riuscivamo a starci, inoltre vista la presenza di numerosi bambini che si lamentavano, giocavano e toccavano ogni cosa, la guida ha pensato bene di chiudere l'unica finestra presente nello stanza, si respirava a fatica visto il caldo e non si capiva nulla di ciò che la guida diceva, così per tutta la visita. Inoltre da un punto di vista della salute, in un periodo in cui ancora ci sono molti casi di covid, non si può non tener conto della salute dei visitatori. La visita è proseguita e nulla è cambiato, tanto caos, persone che andavano da una parte all'altra esasperate anche dal fatto che non si sentiva nulla di ciò che la guida diceva, così per un'ora circa. Sicuramente un peccato, non tanto per aver buttato 13 euro di biglietto di ingresso a persona, ma non si può organizzare una visita con tutte queste persone, prima perché non si comprende veramente nulla, secondo perché c'è il rischio concreto, come tra l'altro è avvenuto che le persone tocchino continuamente tutto, rischiando di danneggiare le cose presenti nelle varie stanze che essendo antiche andrebbero preservate il più possibile. Una sola guida non può gestire né essere in grado di guidare così tante persone in stanze strette e non può neanche sorvegliarle attentamente. Se si deve fare di una risorsa una macchina da soldi, allora quantomeno cercate di tutelarla il più possibile. Inoltre la guida non era neanche particolarmente preparata, le informazioni che ha dato erano per lo più abbastanza scolastiche nulla di particolarmente approfondito, sicuramente non all'altezza di un castello che nel tempo è passato da una famiglia all'altra e il cui racconto dovrebbe sempre di più incuriosire le persone anziché annoiarle. Personalmente non consiglierei a nessuno di visitarlo, finché non cambia questa gestione e di affrontare le visite guidate in questo modo. Un vero peccato che in segna che tutto il mondo è paese. Veramente tanto da rivedere...

Really cool medieval castle full of history, scenic views, and relics. We happened to show up right before the start of a tour. The tours are only offered in German and Italian. We grouped up with the Italian your being that we speak Spanish. They do give you an English handout which has some of the tour details. Most of the tour info is included in the handout. Regardless, our tour guide took the time to give us some tidbits in English during the tour. We were grateful to have Margarita as our guide. This place was super cool with so many things to see. Unfortunately for us, it was closing time right after our tour. Make sure you come a bit early to be able to see the rest of the exhibitions and visit the gift shop. And lastly, don't forget to leave a tip at the end of the tour. Enjoy y'all!
