Facts and practical information

Rametz Castle is a manor house of medieval origin located in Maia Alta in the municipality of Merano.

The first historical records concerning the castle date back to 1269, when it was first mentioned in written documents. Between the 14th and 15th centuries it was owned by the Rametz family, then passed to the Aichners, then to the Forty, the Planta, the Travers and the Parravicini.

In 1836 it was purchased by Francesco Flarer, a professor at the University of Pavia, whose daughter married Agostino Depretis. He turned it into his own residence, carrying out a radical restoration that brought the castle to its present appearance, characterized by turrets and Ghibelline battlements.

During World War II it was requisitioned by German troops along with Castel Labers and used as a logistics base for Operation Bernhard.

In 1954 the Austrian writer Fritz von Herzmanovsky-Orlando died there.

It is currently home to a renowned winery with a restaurant and a small wine museum housed in the rooms of the castle, especially Pinot. The rest of the manor house cannot normally be visited.
