Haus Lusenberg

Josef Moroder's sculpture workshop and painter's atelier

The old Lusenberg farmhouse (in Ladin Jumbierch) was converted into a bourgeois dwelling in 1830 by Annamaria Pezlauzer Moroder. She was the grandmother of the sculptor and painter Josef Moroder (1846-1939), who added the name of the house to his own. Moroder Lusenberg set up his painter's atelier, which is still in its original state, on the upper floor. His second wife Felizita ran an antiques business from there. The sculpture workshop on the ground floor is also in its original state. Moroder's grandson, Harald Schmalzl, still works there today as a sculptor.
