Wehrburg Castle Hotel in Prissian - South Tyrol

As soon as you enter the castle courtyard you’ll be entranced by the medieval ambience of Wehrburg Castle. The fairy-tale beauty of the two towers together with the originally preserved castle complex always brings looks of wonder to our guests’ faces. The history of the castle begins in the 13th century. Small fascinating details and the old castle wall give testimony to the Wehrburg’s service as a bulwark during the Middle Ages. 

Wehrburg Castle owes its current well-preserved condition to the Hungarian Count Albert of Eperjessey, who in around 1900 ordered its complete restoration. The castle was sold in 1956 to Hermann Holzner, who subsequently converted it into a hotel. 

Spacious rooms, including the former Knights’ Hall, are available to our guests for relaxation and socialising. The castle also has a small 15th-century chapel. Dedicated to St. Erasmus, this chapel invites our guests to come inside for a moment of tranquillity and reflection.

Our 3-star hotel has 23 rooms, comprising 4 single rooms and 19 double rooms. They are located in the palas building and in the two 18-metre-high towers. Our guests can enjoy a special castle atmosphere in the simply furnished tower rooms. The unique and breathtaking view of the entire Etschtal Valley makes up for the strenuous climb up the 90 steps via spiral staircase. The towers radiate a special aura of serenity, which releases new energies and replenishes one’s reserves. The rooms in the palas of our castle hotel are comfortable with a simple yet elegant style. They have no TV or mini bar, instead affording our guests a special place to slow down and regenerate.
