Villa Runggaldier (Rothaus, Engelsburg)
The red angel's castle
This turn-of-the-century villa, known as the 'red house', or 'angel's castle' because of its statue of St. Michael, was built by the altar builder and manufacturer Josef Runggaldier, living in the 'Blue House' next door, for his son Josef Jr. and was equipped with its own workshop on the ground floor. It is still used as an atelier today by sculptor Hermann-Josef Runggaldier, a great-grandson of the original constructor.
