Rametz Castle

Rametz Castle is a castle complex in the Labers district of Merano ( South Tyrol ).

history

The core of the buildings goes back to an estate and was owned by the Counts of Ulten , a sideline of the Counts of Eppan , from 1227 to 1269 . Allegedly at the end of the 14th century the estate was made a noble seat by the von Rametz family. After its extinction in 1497, the Quaranta, Planta, Travers-Ortenburg and Paravicini families owned the castle. In 1834 the ophthalmologist Franz Flarer bought the property and fundamentally rebuilt it by 1872. On the mezzanine floor there is still a late Gothic room, on the first floor a room with Renaissance panels and coffered ceiling (around 1596).
