Eight Suites in a Castle at the Mouth of the Gadertal
Nearly a thousand years of history, reimagined as a place to stay. Castel Maurn is a medieval castle in the Puster Valley, where centuries-old stonework, vaulted ceilings and frescoes meet a quietly contemporary sensibility. Carefully restored in 2021, it has just eight suites, each offering a different perspective on the building’s past, with contemporary furniture and natural materials bringing a sense of warmth to its historic rooms. The experience is deliberately intimate, with breakfast served in the privacy of each suite and a sauna and Turkish bath tucked within the old walls. Just five minutes from the Kronplatz lifts, the castle can also be taken over in its entirety, offering a rather different way to experience the Dolomites.

ST. LORENZEN | OCTOBER 2026
A Thousand-Year-Old Residence Kept for Eight Suites
Castel Maurn sits at the edge of St. Lorenzen, where the Pustertal opens into the Gadertal and the road climbs towards Alta Badia. The house appears in the records in 990, and its rooms still carry the evidence of what came after: round arches, vaulted ceilings, leaded windows and walls painted with life-size figures. The 2021 restoration kept all of it and set modern design furniture, sustainable materials and soft lighting against the old surfaces rather than trying to blend the two.
There are only eight suites, between thirty-five and seventy-five square metres, each carrying a name: Graf Radetzky, Albrecht Dürer, Nicolaus Copernicus, William Shakespeare. Every suite has its own bathroom and a small kitchen, and breakfast with regional produce is carried up each morning rather than served in a dining room. Downstairs, a shared kitchen and an honesty bar with a selection of good bottles make the lobby feel more like a private house than a reception.
The hosts, Walter and Sabine, run the place for eighteen guests at most. They book tables at the partner restaurants nearby, from a traditional Weinstube to Atelier Moessmer, where Norbert Niederkofler cooks, arrange the shuttle, pack gourmet baskets for a day in the mountains and bring in a private chef when the castle is taken over by one group. Inside the old walls there is a Finnish sauna and a Turkish bath, a gym, a garage with direct access to the house and a ski room; outside, a pool.
Kronplatz, with 121 kilometres of pistes, is five minutes away and Alta Badia half an hour; Reinhold Messner's MMM Corones and the Lumen museum sit on the Kronplatz summit, and Niederkofler's AlpiNN is up there too. For those arriving differently, there is a helicopter landing pad a five-minute walk away.
