🇮🇹 Gernstein Castle. . . The castle was built towards the end of the 12th century, by Heinrich Garre (or Gerro, minister of Bressanone), from whom it took the name of Gerrenstein. The position of the castle has always been strategic in that, not only did it control the old road of the Isarco Valley, but it was also used to protect the area's copper mines. After the extinction of the Garre family, it was given in fief by the Prince bishop of Bressanone to the von Voitberg. In 1356, however, they rebelled against their master and lost the castle after a siege led by Prince Bishop Matthäus an der Gassen. In 1389 he was then pawned to the lords of Villandro. In 1550 the castle passed to the counts Heydorf, but after some time it lost importance and at the end of the XVI century it fell into ruin. In 1607 it became the property of Ludwig Lindner, chamber master of the Bishops of Bressanone, and of his descendants who for this took the noble predicate "von Gerrenstein". In 1919 it was requisitioned by the Italian State as a German property and in 1970 it was resold to private individuals. It is not currently open to visitors. . ⚜🔹️⚜🔹️⚜🔹️⚜🔹️⚜🔹️⚜🔹️. .
