The Rottenbuch residence

The Rottenbuch mansion , also known as the Rottenbuch Palace , in Bozen - Gries is the seat of the South Tyrolean State Department for Monument Preservation . It has been a listed building since 1951.

The house, the first time in 1387 mentioned as Gandelhof (Gändlhof), was in 1573 for the Bolzano patrician family of Rottenpuecher (Rottenbucher) wooed and thus to the raised hide . The Augsburg- born Bolzano merchant David Wagner - the ancestor of the Counts of Sarnthein - acquired it in 1610. It remained in the possession of the Sarnthein and their descendants for centuries until it was acquired by the State of South Tyrol in 1976 and extensively restored. The residence was changed in several construction phases and received its present appearance in the late 17th century when the Barons of Sarnthein were raised to the rank of count (1681).

The wall paintings by Georg Müller from Bamberg from around 1600, who illustrated the stately second floor of the building with motifs from the Joseph legend , are remarkable .
