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. https://t1p.de/hs51z

Andraz Castle, a defensive bastion for controlling the Alpine passes and the populations.

The ruins are located at the confluence of the Vallunga and Val Gardena valleys, over 1,600 meters high in the Stevia rock face, in the Puez Group of the Dolomites. The small castle served an important strategic function, guarding the crossing over the Gardena Pass into Val Badia.

On the left side of the Val Gardena stream, between Selva and St. Christina, the Fischburg (Ladin Ciastel de Gherdëina) stands enthroned, surrounded by numerous fish ponds, which gave the castle its name. The castle was built between 1622 and 1641 by Engelhard Dietrich von Wolkenstein-Trostburg as a summer residence and hunting lodge, even though the monumental building exudes medieval defensiveness. The castle was equipped more with hunting weapons than with military weapons. Fishing equipment was also found - obvious, considering the nearby fish ponds. At the end of the 18th century, the castle gradually fell into disrepair, and in 1826 part of the inventory was auctioned off. In the middle of the 19th century, Count Leopold von Wolkenstein-Trostburg donated the Fischburg to the municipality of St. Christina, which wanted to build a home for the elderly and the poor here. In 1926, the castle was sold to Baron Carlo Franchetti from Venice, who renovated the castle inside and out and equipped it with furnishings purchased in South Tyrol and Val Gardena. The castle is still owned by this Venetian family today and is not accessible. https://www.valgardena-groeden.com/de/highlights/burgen-schloesser/fischburg/
