Completely stonewalled and decorated Pescosta Vedla farmhouse

Pescosta Vedla

Living quarters and workshop of the first baroque sculptors

The farmhouse on the border between St. Ulrich and St. Christina is divided in the direction of the roof ridge. The cellar has been there since the 15th/16th century, the farm since the 13th century. This is where the family of Christian Trebinger, the first baroque sculptor from Gröden, and, after 1651, Melchior Vinazer, who founded the Vinazer dynasty of sculptors and ran a prominent workshop for sacred art, lived. The house was renovated in 1992.
