Villa Rifesser
Jugendstil and freedom fighters
Villa Rifesser, since 2006 a listed building that was influenced by late Historicism and features a verandah with Jugendstil elements, came about in 1890 thanks to the conversion of the old farmhouse by the altar builder and manufacturer, Josef Rifesser. His son, Josef Jr., carved four wooden busts of figures involved in the Tyrolean Rebellion of 1809 for the bay window. The workshop on the ground floor was used by the sculptor, Pepi Rifesser, a grandson of the builder, until the turn of the century.
