presents:.     . 🇮🇹 Gernstein Castle. The castle was built towards the end of the 12th century by Heinrich Garre, from whom it took the name of Gerrenstein. The position of the castle has always been strategic as it not only controlled the old road of the Isarco Valley, but was also placed to protect the copper mines in the area. After the extinction of the Garre family, it was given as a fief by the Prince Bishop of Bressanone to the von Voitbergs. In 1356, however, they rebelled against their master and lost the castle after a siege led by the prince-bishop Matthäus an der Gassen. In 1389 it was then given as a pledge to the lords of Villandro. In 1550 the castle passed to the Heydorf counts, but after some time it lost its importance and at the end of the 16th century it fell into disrepair. In 1607 it became the property of Ludwig Lindner, chamber master of the Bishops of Bressanone, and his descendants who therefore assumed the noble predicate "von Gerrenstein". In 1880 the castle, now reduced to ruins, was bought by the Prussian lieutenant general Friedrich von Gerstein-Hohenstein who rebuilt it with its current appearance in neo-Gothic style. . ⚜🍁⚜🍁⚜🍁⚜🍁⚜🍁⚜🍁. .
