Welsperg Castle and its trails
Welsperg Castle is one of South Tyrol’s oldest and best-preserved castles. Welsperg Castle is also a cultural venue with changing exhibitions, concerts and events. In addition to its historical significance, the castle therefore offers a cultural programme whose content may vary. The exhibitions appeal to visitors who want to experience art and history in a unique historic building, while concerts and events provide further reasons to visit. As the programme changes, the cultural offering is not limited to a single type of event.

Art in Monguelfo
Monguelfo is the birthplace of Baroque painter Paul Troger. To this day, four works by Paul Troger can be seen in Monguelfo. Those interested in culture can view the biographical connection to Paul Troger and the three paintings in Santa Margherita as two distinct art-historical highlights of a visit to the village.
For the parish church of Santa Margherita, located in the centre of Monguelfo, Paul Troger created three important paintings in 1738 and 1739: the altarpiece for the high altar and two side altarpieces. The high altar and the two side altars give the three works in Santa Margherita different locations.
