Welcome to Dorf Tirol!

Castel Tirol

Built in the 12th century, this quickly became the very symbol of the surrounding region (to which it gave its name, Tyrol). It was the residence of the Counts of Tyrol until 1363, when the last surviving heir gave up her title and handed over all her possessions to the Habsburgs. Completely restored, it now houses a great museum. The hamlet of Castel Tirolo is just outside of Merano and can be reached by car, or by bus from the station. From there it is a pleasant half-hour walk to the castle.
