Haus Tavella bears the name of the renowned sculptor, Franz Tavella, who came from Gadertal valley. He had a two-storey house with its own sculpture workshop built on the ground floor in 1890/91, where lots of young sculptors did their training, including Rudolf Moroder Lenért and Johann Baptist Moroder Lusenberg. In 1905, the sculptor Levije Antone (Luis Anton) Insam from St. Christina bought the house, where his son Luis carried out artistic work and trained young sculptors.

This detached farmhouse separated from Scurcia, its mother farm, and was first mentioned in records in 1420. In 1520, it passed to the fraternity of St. Anna church, as is reflected in the name. This shared farmhouse was converted in the 20th century and the wooden 'palancin' structure turned into a balcony. The sculptor Franz Tavella and, later, the sculptor and crib carver Luis Alois Insam worked at Doss dl Preve in the 1890s.
