At the entrance to the Gsiesertal Valley, Castle Welsperg rises proudly above Welsberg on a rocky terrace – one of South Tyrol’s oldest and best-preserved castles. Its 22 m keep, built in 1126, once served as both watchtower and stronghold. The noble Welsperg family shaped the region’s history for centuries. Today, the castle hosts art exhibitions, concerts, and cultural events during the summer.
Castel Welsperg Castle is accessible on foot from Monguelfo via the “Small castle circuit” or the "Big castle circuit”.
