Welsberg-Taisten: Welsperg Castle, art and weekly market

Holiday apartment in Welsberg-Taisten amid castles, art and family experiences

Welsberg-Taisten invites you on a journey where cultural discoveries, time in nature and a variety of activities come together. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Welsberg-Taisten, it is useful for your planning to consider whether you would like to focus on castles and art, playful experiences or a fixed market day.

Welsperg Castle: castle and cultural venue

Welsperg Castle is one of the oldest and best-preserved castles in South Tyrol. As a cultural venue, it hosts changing exhibitions as well as concerts and events. From Welsberg, the castle can be reached on foot via the “Small Castle Loop” or the “Great Castle Loop.” The two castle loops give you two options to compare when planning your day. This allows you to combine a walk with a cultural destination without structuring the entire day around a fixed programme.

Art in Monguelfo

The parish church of St. Margaret is located in the centre of Monguelfo. Monguelfo is the birthplace of the Baroque painter Paul Troger; four of his works can still be seen there today. For the parish church of Santa Margherita, Paul Troger created three important paintings between 1738 and 1739: the altarpiece of the high altar and two side altarpieces. A visit to Monguelfo is therefore particularly appealing if you would like to combine architecture with specific works of art.

Experiences for children and active days

For days with children, Parco Prenninger offers an adventure play area. Well-maintained paths lead through extensive green spaces with shady areas. A small stream there invites children to wade and play in the water. The combination of play, exercise and shady places to relax creates a different daily rhythm from a focus on castles and art. When choosing your holiday apartment, you can therefore take different holiday preferences within the family into account.

Adventure Golf is located next to Monguelfo railway station. The facility has nine artificial-turf courses, each offering two different ways to play. This makes a visit a clearly defined activity that fits into your stay as a programme item of its own.

Weekly market on the main square

Every Tuesday, a weekly market takes place on the main square from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Various stalls offer, among other things, clothing, shoes and local products. The market thus provides a specific day of the week for local impressions, and its range extends beyond purely food stalls.

When choosing your holiday apartment in Welsberg-Taisten, you can assign different priorities to culture and art, paths through nature, play opportunities for children or the Tuesday market on the main square. Your travel planning leaves room for a variety of ideas for each day, while Welsperg Castle, Monguelfo, Parco Prenninger, Adventure Golf and the weekly market provide specific reasons to visit.
