Juval Castle

The oldest account of the castle dates to 1278, when it was owned by Hugo of Montalban.

The castle was passed down through generations and was owned by the Blaas family until World War II, when it was taken over by the Nazis.

Since 1983, it has been the summer residence (July and August) of mountaineer Reinhold Messner, who has partially converted it into a museum displaying works of Tibetan art and a collection of masks from five continents.

Around the castle there is a path open to the public along which there are informational signs relating to the botanical features on the grounds.

For private individuals, the castle is accessible only on foot with an hour-long walk or by using a special bus service.
