Goldegg residence
The Goldegg residence is a protected architectural monument of the market town of Lana in South Tyrol .
history
Presumably built as a village castle, the beginnings of the complex date back to the 13th century. The residence , which has always been given noble liberties, was originally called Greifenturm and was owned by the Lords of Greif. Through the marriage of the heiress Margarete von Greif to Konrad Goldegg in 1370, the property came into the hands of the Lords of Goldegg. In 1446 Leonhard von Mitterhof zu Pawigl bought the noble seat and has since called himself von Goldegg . In 1580 Goldegg was again declared a noble private property for the brothers Paul, Thomas, Jakob and Leonhard Goldegger von und zu Goldegg. In 1725 Hans Ritter von Goldegger, councilor of Archduke Ferdinand Karl, sold the property to the Marienberg Benedictine monastery . With the dissolution of the monastery by the Bavarian state administration in 1807, Goldegg and its wineries came into peasant ownership by auction. A chapel originally belonged to the complex, which was probably demolished because of its ruinous state of construction. At times the Goldegg zu Lindenburg family tried in vain to buy back their headquarters.
description
The building has a medieval keep and a circular wall with a round arch gate from the 13th century. The living quarters date from the 16th to 17th centuries. In the inner courtyard there is a brick staircase and a shoulder arch door with a stone frame.
