"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.

Haus Lusenberg

The old Lusenberg farmhouse (in Ladin Jumbierch) was converted into a bourgeois dwelling in 1830 by Annamaria Pezlauzer Moroder. She was the grandmother of the sculptor and painter Josef Moroder (1846-1939), who added the name of the house to his own. Moroder Lusenberg set up his painter's atelier, which is still in its original state, on the upper floor. His second wife Felizita ran an antiques business from there. The sculpture workshop on the ground floor is also in its original state. Moroder's grandson, Harald Schmalzl, still works there today as a sculptor.
