Thurneck Castle
The castle was built between 1575 and 1785 by the architect Albert Lucchese as a hunting and pleasure palace on behalf of Archduke Ferdinand II of Austria. From 1704 to 1706, the castle was rebuilt by the Counts of Tannenberg in the High Baroque style. In 1809, the castle was plundered during the Tyrolean Rebellions. In 1848, the property came into the possession of the Austrian Empire. In 1860, the castle was sold to the episcopal Mensa. From 1872 to 1876, boys' seminars for future priests were held in the castle. Since 1876, the castle has been owned by the State of Tyrol and has been used as the Rotholz Agricultural Teaching and Research Institute since 1879.
