Villa Margherita
Historical settlement site, important altar-building workshop
Stufan farm site (today Villa Margherita) is considered to be one of the oldest recorded settlement sites in St. Ulrich. The altar builder and manufacturer, Josef Rifesser Sr., built the twin farmhouses in 1872 and, in 1882, converted them into an art school for church interior decorations with its own sculpture and carpentry workshop. The business was one of the largest altar-building workshops in St. Ulrich around 1900. His son, Josef Jr. (bera Sepl da Stufan), carried on with the company and opened a branch at the railway station in Brixen.
