Pardell residence
The Pardell residence is located a little above the village of Villandro with a view of the Eisack Valley above Klausen in South Tyrol .
history
In 1293 Randold Vilanders von Pardell bought the court and castle of Wolkenstein and thus became the progenitor of the Counts of Wolkenstein. The residential tower was built at the beginning of the 14th century . At the beginning of the 15th century, only a few members of the once numerous Vilandr families are still alive. In 1410, with the death of Siegmund Vilander von Pradell , the property came into the hands of Sparrenberg . A hundred years later by marriage to the Barons of Madruz (Madrutz, Madruzzo). These expand the tower into a hide . Thereafter, the property also passed through marriage to the Counts of Wolkenstein-Trostburg .
description
The core of the residence goes back to a medieval residential tower, which was begun around 1300 for the Pardell family. In the beginning of the 16th century, this was supplemented by other buildings to form a residence and significantly redesigned. The three-storey, almost square residential tower with a steep hipped roof was extended lengthways by a double-width, rectangular, two-storey extension with a gable roof and is supported on the long side of the rectangular building, which slopes steeply towards the valley, with short extension walls. On the short side facing away from the residential tower, the property has a narrow opening . Presumably in the early days a lavatory or separate staircase pulled through to the floor. On the long side of the rectangular extension on the mountain side, in the middle, a brick staircase with a stone-framed pointed arched door, above which is the Madruz coat of arms . The room has a late Gothic beamed ceiling.
The property also includes the two-storey Sebastian Chapel from the beginning of the 16th century, which is connected to the main house via a narrow, single-storey extension. It has an almost square floor plan, the hipped roof is crowned by a wooden roof turret with a pyramid roof. A ground-level access is via a stone-framed pointed arched door , another on the adjacent side with wooden stairs to the first floor; the groin vault shows the year 1565.
