Visiting the castle

The Gothic castle together with its idyllic chapel and extensive lands is located on a beautiful hillside spot and the foot of the Mendal Mountains, surrounded by ancient trees. Though the centuries have passed since then and, with them, the trials of time it has lost none of its charming appeal. Today, it opens its doors to welcome travellers who appreciate the stylish yet snug atmosphere of these history-steeped walls.

Englar Castle, in the hands of the Count Khuen – Belasi family for nearly 400 years, is considered to be the best-preserved Gothic castle in South Tyrol.
