This turn-of-the-century villa, known as the 'red house', or 'angel's castle' because of its statue of St. Michael, was built by the altar builder and manufacturer Josef Runggaldier, living in the 'Blue House' next door, for his son Josef Jr. and was equipped with its own workshop on the ground floor. It is still used as an atelier today by sculptor Hermann-Josef Runggaldier, a great-grandson of the original constructor.

This site is part of the tour "The turn-of-the-century economic boom in Ortisei: villas and workshops".

The turn-of-the-century villa named after Paul Grohmann, the first to climb the Sassolungo mountain, was built in 1906 by Konrad Pitscheider de Menza, a sculpture painter and gilder from Ortisei, on a plot of land belonging to Pitla Sotria farm. Pitscheider set up one of the most important workshops for the painting of sacred statues and other church decorations at the start of the 20th century on the ground floor. The construction is in its original state and is inhabited.

Josef Moroder Lusenberg and his son Josef had Sonnenburg erected in 1904 on the site of the old mill at Cudan stream. A workshop for sacred sculpture was set up on the ground floor, where Josef Jr. built up an ecclesiastical art business. The turn-of-the-century building stands out thanks to its half-hipped roof, which is rare for Val Gardena, bay window and turret with a sundial painted on the wall beneath some double arched windows.

Scurcià is considered one of the largest medieval farm sites in Ortisei, having been divided up and given rise to a number of different farmhouses. A workshop was set up in Cësa 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.

In 1909, Rudolf Moroder de Lenért had a house with a sculpture workshop built on the grounds of 'Pitl Paul' farm. He called the new construction 'Villa Rudolfine' - a combination of his first name and the name of his wife, Josephine. Rudolf Moroder was awarded a gold medal at the 1900 Paris Exposition. His premature death in the First World War put an end to the 'Moroder brothers' production of sacred objects. The artist couple, Rudolf Moroder and Finy Martiner, lived and worked in Villa Rudolfine until the beginning of the 20th century.

The wooden sculpture of Saint Barbara, patron saint of miners and railway workers, was carved by Johann Baptist Moroder in 1914. It was originally located in a specially designed niche above the former railway tunnel behind Ortisei parish church. The original is now in Museum Gherdëina, and a bronze copy is located near the old locomotive in Bahnhofstraße in Ortisei. 

This cultural asset is part of the tour "Ortisei: a stroll through the village centre and its history". 

The bronze bust of Luis Trenker by the sculptor David Moroder was created in 1984 while Trenker was still alive. The bust of the mountaineer, architect, actor, director and storyteller, who was born in Ortisei, was unveiled in its current location in front of Museum Gherdëina in 2001. It commemorates one of the valley's most famous sons, to whom the museum dedicates a whole special exhibition area.

Villa ANRI in S. Cristina, now a listed building, newly built in 1925, was used as the headquarters of the ANRI company founded in 1921 by Anton Riffeser. For this purpose, workshops, offices, warehouses, packing and exhibition spaces were housed here. ANRI products were sold as far away as the USA and in its heyday, the company employed up to 230 people. Production was moved to premises at Plan da Tieja in 1952 and ceased in 2021.

The wood carver Christina Rifesser was running a workshop in the old farmhouse Domur back in 1888. When Matthias Comploy inherited the farmhouse in Tieja from his mother in 1903, he turned it into a turn-of-the-century style villa and set up a private teaching workshop for sculpting and altar-building carpentry. As of 1910, the teacher Albino Pitscheider and his family lived here and Comploy had to auction the workshop after the First World War.

Johann Baptist Moroder, son of Josef Moroder Lusenberg and himself one of the most important Val Gardena sculptors around 1900, built Villa Venezia in 1903/04 based on his own designs for a residence in neo-Renaissance style with a balustrade featuring marble wooden columns. A sculptor's studio and domed skylight were included. The mills from Planaces farm, the forge with furnace and a sawmill used to be in front of the newly built house.
