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

Haus Plan de Mureda

Plandemureda was built in 1834 by Jan Matie Moroder da Scurcià, a trader of fashion accessories living in Ancona, as a summer house. Starting in 1869, his sons, Alois and Franz, exported wooden toys to the whole of Europe under the name of 'Gebrüder Moroder'. There was a small warehouse (today 'Pension Sole') next door where producers delivered their wares. St. Ulrich primary school now occupies the spot behind the building where the 1849-built stable used to stand.

Fischburg

Engelhard Dietrich, Baron (Count after 1630) of Wolkenstein, had Fischburg constructed on the north flank of Gröden valley between 1621 and 1641 in order to maintain control of the long-distance path running over the passes, whose course through the valley had changed. In 1841, it was converted into a poorhouse, but purchased by Baron Carlo Franchetti in 1926/27, then renovated and faithfully refurbished.
