Kränzelstein

Kränzelstein from the southwest

Kränzelstein is a medieval residential tower in Sarnthein in South Tyrol's Sarntal . The four-storey, rectangular building was mentioned in 1295 and expanded in the 16th century to include a tinned curtain wall and a small annex on the mountain side. The tower is named after Hans von Kränzelstein, in whose possession it was documented in 1362.

Later the tower belonged to the Lords of Northeim. In the middle of the 16th century, the Lords of Molart owned the tower until the Bolzano merchant David Wagner bought it in 1635 . Until the 1970s the tower was owned by his descendants, the Counts of Sarnthein . In 2016 the municipality of Sarntal bought the building for € 615,000.

Kränzelstein has been a listed building since 1950.
