Castel Fragsburg Paternum

VENUE SPACE ONLY (Castel Fragsburg for accommodations). High above the imperial spa town of Merano – where the sun shines the longest, the untamed majestic South Tyrolean mountains step into the spotlight.  Alongside the hunting lodge, Castel Fragsburg, the knight’s chateaux Fragsburg Paternum has been sitting enthroned for nearly 400 years, rooted in rock and soil. And yet, the castle and the former hunting lodge from the 17th century seem to sway above the treetops of the Fragsburg’s rocky cliffs. Today the knight’s chateaux from the 13th century are part of the Luxury Hideaway & Soul Retreat Castel Fragsburg, the smallest 5-star hotel in South Tyrol. The castle is nestled in enchanted castle grounds, which stretch out from the boutique retreat for more than 50,000 square meters, bordering the highest waterfall in South Tyrol. Whoever crosses the entrance portal will feel as though they have stepped out of space and time, bursting with inspiration and oddly moved by long-forgotten dreams and fairy tales. Wisterias, roses, jasmines, and hydrangeas are blooming everywhere, and visitors will enter a world composed of sweet scents and colors, soothing birdsong, and peaceful security between the imposing mountains. A winding path made of paving stones leads from the gatehouse under a chestnut through the castle park up to the entrance gate. There the courtyard with its fairy tale fountain and a panoramic balcony overlooking the valley of Merano awaits you.
