"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.

Haus Lenert

Franz Moroder de Plandemureda extended little Lenért farmhouse and set up production of ecclesiastical art as a new branch of the 'Gebrüder Moroder' company. In 1906, he purchased an art school in Offenburg, which was managed by his sons, Eduard and Rudolf. Pre-1914, there were up to 40 artisans working at Lenért and Offenburg at times. His grandson, Norbert, is said to have carried on carving wood in this historical workshop before it closed down a few years ago.
