Engelhard Dietrich, Baron (Count after 1630) of Wolkenstein, had Gardena Castle (Fischburg) constructed on the north flank of Val Gardena valley between 1621 and 1641 in order to maintain control of the long-distance path running over the passes, whose course through the valley had changed. In 1841, it was converted into a poorhouse, but purchased by Baron Carlo Franchetti in 1926/27, then renovated and faithfully refurbished. 

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.

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.

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.

The detached 15th-century farmhouse at the start of Selva enjoys listed building status and is not inhabited today. One part of the living quarters was found in the stonewalled eastern section of the building. The parlour ('Stube') and rooms were in the wooden boarded section. This is where the famous wood carver Katharina Kasslatter (anda Trina da Gustin), one of the first students at the art school in Selva to sign her work, lived until her death in 1974. 

Col dala Pelda is a building representative of the baroque era with tent roof and intricate façade decorations built around 1640 by two ladies from the House of Wolkenstein - hence the coat of arms on the north-eastern side. From around 1700 to 1878 it was the seat of the local court (the stocks were not far away), before becoming a private dwelling. The barn belonging to it was built in 1690 and has been a listed building since 2024.

Ciablon twin farmhouses lie at 1770 metres above sea level on the sunny slopes of Daunëi and form one of the highest lying farms in Val Gardena. The barn dates back to the 16th century, while the central section of the dwelling, divided in the direction of the roof ridge, even goes back to the 13th century. The eastern half is original with a barrel-vaulted kitchen, open chimney flue and panelled parlours, while the western half has mostly been refurbished. Both halves stand empty, with the eastern half being under local council ownership. 

These crossbow arrows in various forms were defensive or attack weapons used in the Middle Ages and are often found in the vicinity of fortresses. These three arrowheads, dating back to the late Middle Ages, were found amongst the ruins of Wolkenstein castle.

A Roman knife made from iron was discovered by chance near Fischburg castle (Ciastel de Gherdëina in the Ladin language). The weapon or tool was probably lost in the forest. Gröden did not seem to be a particularly attractive area for the Romans, neither from a geographical point of view nor as a prospective settlement. 

This 6cm copper tool attests to the transition from the Stone Age to the early Metal Age (3,200-2,200 BC). As part of a settled way of life, people began to extract and process copper to make tools. The discovery site of this axe, near a water source under a mighty dolomite block at the foot of the Sasso Lungo, suggests that it might have been a votive offering.
