Haus Vastlé

The SEVI company run by Vinzenz Senoner was (together with ANRI of Anton Riffeser) one of the most important employers in Gröden, with 140 employees and 200 workers from home, and it was one of Europe's leading wood carving producers. Haus Vastlé was constructed in 1831 by Senoner's father, Josef Anton, who started exporting small wooden figurines and toys. After construction of factory premises in Pontives in 1965, SEVI company headquarters were transferred there in 1977. Nowadays, there is a new building where the old one used to be.
