1868 porphyry trough from Mauriz
The largest porphyry trough in Gröden
This porphyry trough hewn from a stone block with the year 1868 engraved on it used to stand near Hotel Adler and was a place for horses to drink. At four metres in length, it is the largest of some 50 porphyry troughs that used to be in Gröden; it has been standing in the museum garden since 1960. It is attributed to the stonemason Scola Petru from Falcade, who founded a stonemason's business in Pontives.
