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

Haus Tavella

Haus Tavella bears the name of the renowned sculptor, Franz Tavella, who came from Gadertal valley. He had a two-storey house with its own sculpture workshop built on the ground floor in 1890/91, where lots of young sculptors did their training, including Rudolf Moroder Lenért and Johann Baptist Moroder Lusenberg. In 1905, the sculptor Levije Antone (Luis Anton) Insam from St. Christina bought the house, where his son Luis carried out artistic work and trained young sculptors.
