Rodenegg Castle was built by the Lords of Rodank in 1140 and enlarged by the Wolkenstein family in the 16th century to become one of the most imposing fortresses in all Südtirol. The old drawbridges, the towers, walls, battlements, the picturesque inner courtyard, the ward, the armoury and the chapel dedicated to St. Michael combine to create an authentic medieval aura. The fresco cycle depicting the Iwein saga in 11 scenes according to the courtly and knightly epic by Hartmann von Aue is especially worth seeing.
