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

Trëbe

The small farmhouse with late-gothic plastering and red quoins goes back to the 14th/15th century. Brothers Christian, Bartolomäus, Dominik and Anton Trebinger are called after their birthplace, Trëbe. They made their name in the 17th century with works for churches in South Tyrol and as pioneers of training sculptors and altar building. There is still a sculpture workshop on the ground floor of Trëbe today.

Janon

Janon, once a twin farmhouse, but just a residential building today, was first mentioned in records in 1430. The remnants of the red quoins, red window framing and the year 1585 written on the façade are noteworthy. There is a relief with scissors and needle chiselled above the other symbols on the keystone of the pretty arched doorway, perhaps pointing to a family of tailors once working here. The building has had listed status since the 1950s. The western half of the building is uninhabited.

Fëur

Fëur auf Furnes is one of the highest-lying farms in Gröden. The building with listed status was originally a twin farmhouse and is nowadays used as a mountain pasture hut. The original preserved 15th-century gable roof-shaped parlour ceiling is one of the oldest parlours in the Tyrol area. The house and its parlour were a popular motif for the painter Josel Moroder Lusenberg, who used them mainly in his light and colour studies.

Pescosta Vedla

The farmhouse on the border between St. Ulrich and St. Christina is divided in the direction of the roof ridge. The cellar has been there since the 15th/16th century, the farm since the 13th century. This is where the family of Christian Trebinger, the first baroque sculptor from Gröden, and, after 1651, Melchior Vinazer, who founded the Vinazer dynasty of sculptors and ran a prominent workshop for sacred art, lived. The house was renovated in 1992.
