Villa Sonnenburg

From the old mill to turn-of-the-century house

Josef Moroder Lusenberg and his son Josef had Sonnenburg erected in 1904 on the site of the old mill at Cudanbach stream. A workshop for sacred sculpture was set up on the ground floor, where Josef Jr. built up an ecclesiastical art business. The turn-of-the-century building stands out thanks to its half-hipped roof, which is rare for Gröden, bay window and turret with a sundial painted on the wall beneath some double arched windows.
