"Great is the power of memory that dwells in places." (from Cicero)

Haus Scurcià

Scurcià is considered one of the largest medieval farm sites in St. Ulrich, having been divided up and given rise to a number of different farmhouses. A workshop was set up in Haus Scurcià which produced a lot of well-known 19th-century sculptors. The altar builder, Leopold Moroder, extended the house in 1900 into a café and funded the already-existing 'Kastanienallee'. The house today is a new construction from 1981 by Giorgio Moroder, the disco music pioneer and Oscar prizewinner.

Saint Antony in Boden church

The first church built on Antoniboden land was mentioned in records in the 15th century, but it is older than that. Today's church was completed with its steep gabled roof was completed in 1676 and restored in the 1870s. The side statues at the high altar from 1684 depict both saints Ruprecht and Nikolaus. The Lourdes grotto features minerals from the Seiser Alm mountain pasture, the altarpieces come from Josef Moroder Lusenberg, and the sculptures from Gröden artists.

Resciesa

The farmhouse is the result of expansion of the original farm site in 1836 with a wooden, two-storey veranda. The sculptor Vinzenz Moroder (1889-1980) set up his workshop on the ground floor, which is still there today. The stations of the cross to Kreuz chapel, with originals in Museum Gherdëina, are by him. The name of the farm, Resciesa, was already mentioned in records in the 14th century, and means 'red rock/rubble' and is a reference to the porphyry that may be found in abundance near the farm.
