Castel Lebenberg in Tscherms is one of the largest and best preserved castles in South Tyrol, dating back to the 13th century.

During a guided tour, available until the end of October from Monday to Thursday, visitors can discover highlights such as the three storey chapel, the French garden, and elegant rooms like the Hall of Mirrors and the Knights’ Hall. ✨🏰
