Museum Gherdëina

The 'Cësa di Ladins' building was constructed in 1954 by the cultural association 'Union di Ladins de Gherdëina'. It is the first cultural centre in the Dolomite-Ladin valleys. The museum has been here since 1960 and was extended twice (1970, 1985). On the basis of a recent international architecture competition, the building is going to be refurbished with the support of Gardena valley local councils, the Autonomous province of Bolzano-South Tyrol and the Autonomous region of Trentino-Südtirol, and partially replaced by a new museum building.

Former art school in Selva

In 1908, state teaching activities at Selva technical school for illustrating and modelling received its own premises in Plan da Tieja school building. While the types of school changed over the course of the years, the Habsburg-era building remained until the art school in Selva was closed. It was not until 2013 that it had to give way to today's middle school building.

Saint Mary's parish church, Selva

Records from 1517 mention a new construction that was extended in 1678. The church was newly built in 1872 after plans by Cyprian Pescosta, the priest in Bulla at the time. The features come from altar builders from Val Badia valley and sculptors from Ortisei. In 1988, the nave was replaced with a new, larger construction. The old tower was kept in place.

Chapel to the Fallen

In remembrance of the soldiers fallen in the First World War a chapel was built next to the parish church at Annabach in accordance with plans by Adolf Keim, an illustrator and teacher at the art school in Val Gardena. There is a bronze-like 'Pietà' sculpture by L. Moroder from 1921 in the semi-enclosed construction with gabled roof featuring the names of soldiers fallen in both world wars written in plaques on both sides.
