The historical background of the Neurasen castle ruins is particularly interesting: they were built around 1200 by the “Lords of Rasen” after losing their original castle. In the 14th century, the ruins came into the possession of the Prince-Bishops of Brixen and were further expanded. Over the following centuries, ownership changed several times and the structure gradually fell into decay – by around 1680 it was already a ruin.
