Schenna Castle in Scena near Merano is one of the most important castles in South Tyrol. Today you can visit the castle and the formerly inhabited by the count's family state rooms in personal tours of Count von Spiegelfeld, brother in law of the owner.

The Lords of Schenna appear as Ministeriale of the Counts of Tyrol during the 12th Century in appearance. The castle was built around the year 1350 in place of the old castle Schenna, which was mentioned in a document in 1346, by Petermann von Schenna, 1352-1369 Governor of Tyrol and Burggraf Tyrol. At this time Margarete was the last Countess of Tyrol. A number of well-known Tyrolean noble families were owners of the castle, as the Lords of Starkenberg, who lost it in 1423 to Duke Friedrich with the empty bag, or from 1496 the Liechtenstein Kastelkorn.
In 1845 Archduke Johann bought the castle, which after his death left it to his descendants, the Count of Meran. It is still in their possession today (owner is Franz Graf von Meran from Stainz Castle), is inhabited and managed by members of the family. Not only the castle, but also the mausoleum on the church hill of Schenna, where Archduke Johann and his family found their final resting place, as well as the Thurnerhof as an agricultural farm and traditional tavern, belong to the estate today.

The ancestral seat of the Counts of Meran in Tyrol and still owned by the family, who also live in the castle. Historically embedded in the history and fate of the country, Schenna Castle is one of the most worth seeing castles in South Tyrol.
Visits are offered. Current viewing times on the Internet. Evening tours are also very popular.
