Fürstenburg

The prince's castle was built in the 13th century near Burgeis ( Mals ) as the seat of the prince-bishops of Chur . The first documentary mention took place in 1292 by Bishop Berthold II. ( "In caso nostro Furstenburch" ). Today the castle, which is located in South Tyrol ( Italy ), houses a technical school for agriculture and forestry.

After the tower collapsed in 1996, the then director Georg Flora initiated an expansion. The concept of the architect Werner Tscholl included the complex renovation and modernization of the facility without irreversibly changing the existing facility. Only architectural elements or extensions were added.
