When Buchenstein Castle, also called Andraz Castle, was built is unknown. It is built on an inaccessible boulder on the eastern slope of the Col di Lana not far from the pass road to the Falzarego Pass. The location was of great importance for securing the valley. Not far from there was the border between the County of Tyrol and the Repubblica di Venezia.

In the Middle Ages, Buchenstein Castle housed an ore smelting furnace behind its walls. It also indirectly protected the nearby Fursil mines near Colle Santa Lucia from Venetian attacks.
The profits from Buchenstein were claimed by the Diocese of Brixen—so aggressively, in fact, that the driving bishop, Nicholas of Cusa, had to be removed from office and compensated in Rome.

Andraz Castle is beautiful! It is worth visiting both closed in the snow and open, with the museum inside.
