Resciesa
Farmhouse below Raschötzwald
The farmhouse is the result of expansion of the original farm site in 1836 with a wooden, two-storey veranda. The sculptor Vinzenz Moroder (1889-1980) set up his workshop on the ground floor, which is still there today. The stations of the cross to Kreuz chapel, with originals in Museum Gherdëina, are by him. The name of the farm, Resciesa, was already mentioned in records in the 14th century, and means 'red rock/rubble' and is a reference to the porphyry that may be found in abundance near the farm.
