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.

After the 1830s, Haus Bugon was the seat of 'Insam & Prinoth', one of the largest pre-First World War toy manufacturers in Gröden. The company had a branch in Nuremberg in 1820 and, later on, one in London. There was a large warehouse as well as the manufacturing premises with offices and packaging workshop housed in a stable and the goods were transported from there to the point connecting up with the railway network.

The former stable at Panahof farm was extended by Johann Baptist Purger in 1854 for the purpose of packaging toys and, at a later date, altars, for export. A bridge over the Annabach stream was built at the same time to ease transport by sledge. Today, the packaging house is home to an eatery with a western façade consisting of porphyry stone blocks like the bridge, while its foundations are made of solid Gröden sandstone.

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.

On the spot of the cultural centre there was once a multi-storey building constructed in 1854 in urban style by the manufacturer, Johann Baptist Purger, along with some council offices and doctor's surgery. It also served as a temporary warehouse for the toy manufacturer Anton Sotriffer. Both buildings influenced the character of Kirchplatz, until, in 1969, they had to make way for a congress hall for the 1970 Winter Olympics built at the turn of the century and bearing the name 'Kulturhaus Luis Trenker'.
