Schloss Maretsch - Castel Mareccio
Schloss Maretsch - Castel Mareccio stands in Bolzano’s historic centre, surrounded by greenery and vineyards enclosed by stone walls. This castle feels more like a residence than a fortress, with Renaissance forms shaping its historic setting.
Berthold von Maretsch built the oldest section in 1194 as a massive keep among the vines. The Römer family later added four round corner towers and commissioned frescoes of contemporary philosophers, while the Feiler family developed the complex into a Renaissance residence between 1560 and 1570. Today, the rooms host conferences, weddings and exhibitions, while visitors can see the myth of Pyramus and Thisbe and allegorical virtues in the Römer Hall.
The contrast stays with you: four round towers rise above vineyards inside Bolzano’s historic centre.
