Villa Venezia

First mills, then sawmills and finally an art studio

Johann Baptist Moroder, son of Josef Moroder Lusenberg and himself one of the most important Gröden sculptors around 1900, built Villa Venezia in 1903/04 based on his own designs for a residence in neo-Renaissance style with a balustrade featuring marble wooden columns. A sculptor's studio and domed skylight were included. The mills from Planaces farm, the forge with furnace and a sawmill used to be in front of the newly built house.
