Schloss Ried or Burg Ried is a rather small castle without castle-like elements north of Bolzano at the entrance to the Sarntal in South Tyrol , Italy .

location

Behind the well-known Runkelstein Castle , the Sarntal widens into a small basin, whereupon it tapers again. The former moated castle Ried made use of this previously strategically important boiler. In the Middle Ages, its walls were washed by the waters of the Talfer , today it does not flow past the castle twenty meters. Ried Castle is one of the few castle complexes that were never conquered.

Today Schloss Ried is an administrative curiosity. Although it lies on the orographically right side of the Talfer, it belongs to the municipality of Ritten, which otherwise remains exclusively to the left of the Talfer .

history

The complex was probably built around 1200 and expanded to include residential buildings, a kennel and a castle chapel in the middle of the 13th century . Towards the end of the 13th century, the castle was owned by the noble free von Wangen . In 1307 the castle was sold to the wife of Duke Otto of Carinthia-Tyrol . As a result, the castle was issued as a Tyrolean - Habsburg nursing court to civil servants; so one acted in 1465 Lenhart Ortwegker as pfleger ym Rit bey Botzin . From 1501, King Maximilian I used the castle as a customs post on the Sarntaler Talweg, which had recently been laid out, and in 1509 the castle was owned by the Liechtenstein family ; in the 19th century the castle came to the barons of Ingram, who restored it and had it expanded like a castle.

Who had fled from the Turks multiple (see. List of rulers of Moldavia ) Voivode of Moldavia , Petre Schiopul (also Peter the Lame ) got assigned residence of Vienna at the time here. His tombstone is in the Franciscan monastery in Bolzano .

The Bolzano fair parade in the spring of 1921, which triggered the Bolzano Sunday , should originally have led to Ried Castle, but was canceled due to the fascist attacks.

Today the well-preserved complex is privately owned and cannot be visited.
