A lime kiln (often simply called a lime oven) is a historical kiln used to produce quicklime (calcium oxide) by burning limestone at high temperatures (approx. 1000-1400°C) for several days. The name "sulden" likely refers to the municipality of Sulden in the Vinschgau Valley, South Tyrol, where similar historical kilns can be found, or to their general importance in South Tyrol, where many such preserved structures (e.g., in Altrei, Truden, Andrian, Prad) serve as cultural monuments. These cylindrical kilns, often partially embedded in the ground, were important to the local population as a source of building materials (mortar) and fertilizer.
