This bed chamber was built onto the now-demolished Bierjun farmhouse in Überwasser in 1456 and only revealed its secret beneath ultraviolet light: drawings in red chalk of scenes ranging from the passion of Christ to the mounting of the bell in Pufels church tower, and a bear hunt. These red chalk drawings are a rare example of religious piety in a private rural context before 1500. One farm owner was provost of St. Leonhard's chapel in Pufels in the 17th century.

The sacristan's house (Mëune) beneath Saint Jacob's chapel is an impressive detached farmhouse dating back to 1453, in its original form and still owned by the church. The stonewalled living quarters with a cellar and two upper floors are housed in the easter part of the house, while the barn and 'palancin' balcony run around the west side. The supporting beam of the barn door features two painted black snakes facing each other as symbol of the various transformatory processes occurring throughout the year.

The small farmhouse with late-gothic plastering and red quoins goes back to the 14th/15th century. Brothers Christian, Bartholomäus, Dominik and Anton Trebinger are called after their birthplace, Trëbe. They made their name in the 17th century with works for churches in South Tyrol and as pioneers of training sculptors and altar building. There is still a sculpture workshop on the ground floor of Trëbe today.

This site is part of the tour "San Giacomo and its over-500-year-old farms".

The origin twin farmhouse goes back to 1249 according to dendrochronological investigations. The core section has a walled base, cellar access in the east and an overhanging wooden upper floor, called 'piguel' in Val Gardena. The listed building is divided down the middle according to the roof ridge line and has been uninhabited for a while but is still run as a farm. The western half of the building was bought by Ortisei council as an example of architecturally interesting heritage.

A twin farmhouse, first mentioned in records in 1406, with fully stonewalled, immaculately renovated living quarters divided along the roof ridge line corresponding with ownership. There are two original barns for each part of the farmhouse built as log structures over a walled base and preserved with the characteristic 'palancin' balcony used for maturing grain running around the building. The western barn is older and its core originates from 1428/30.

Fëur is one of the highest-lying farms in Val Gardena. The building with listed status was originally a twin farmhouse and is nowadays used as a mountain pasture hut. The original preserved 15th-century gable roof-shaped parlour ceiling is one of the oldest parlours in the Tyrol area. The house and its parlour were a popular motif for the painter Josel Moroder Lusenberg, who used them mainly in his light and colour studies.

The farmhouse, partly built into the surrounding land, dates back to the 15th century. The current living quarters were converted around the start of the 20th century. For generations, jointed wooden dolls and horses as well as special crib figurines with moving parts were made at Josef Insam's family business and sold all over Europe. In times of war, production was extended to include prosthetic hands and feet.

The bishops of Augsburg founded a village around the old church of Saint Ulrich. This parish church was situated at the graveyard, as mentioned in records from 1342, but it is quite a bit older than that. The building, close to collapse, was pulled down in the 1790s and a new parish church was built on land between the two farmhouses Pana and Ortiseit, where there was a second village centre. At the end of the 18th century, both village centres merged together, reflected in today's village names of St. Ulrich/Ortisei/Urtijëi.

There is hardly anything left of Stetteneck Castle, and its position near Saint Jacob's church near Pincan could only be confirmed in 2000 thanks to archaeological excavations. Yet the castle played an important role in the development of the village and new supplies were brought mainly to San Giacomo to provide for its inhabitants. The Stetteneck family was wiped out at the start of the 14th century for political reasons.

Wolkenstein Castle, today a ruin, was a fortress set in Stevia rock face at the start of Langental valley (then Ciastel de Val). There used to be two castles standing here to safeguard Trai Paian long-distance path. Today's castle was built around 1200 and later taken over by Meinhard II, who elevated it to a court seat and equipped it with supplies. After 1370, the castle passed into the hands of the Wolkenstein family.
