Three-quarter view of Villa Stillheim. The special architectural features are clearly visible. The blue colour of the façade stands out.

Cësa Bruma (Villa Stillheim)

Blue house belonging to award-winning altar builder

In 1887, altar builder Josef Runggaldier Sr. constructed Villa Stillheim in historical country house style on a plot of land belonging to Poz Dessot farm. The façade lending the villa the name of 'Blue House' (Ladin Cësa Bruma) was inspired by business trips to Hungary. Around 18 artisans were working in the firm at Pasperg/Runggaditsch around 1900, and the altars produced there were exported abroad and awarded numerous prizes.
