The Brunneburg was built in 1250 by Wilhelm Tarant on a glacial rubble cone below Tyrol Castle. In 1356 the princely administrator of the Bishopric of Trent, Heinrich von Bopfingen, acquired it; he was pastor of Tyrol, envoy of Ludwig of Brandenburg and until 1359 also governor of Tyrol. In 1421 it was acquired by Ulrich Putsch, chaplain of Duke Frederick with his empty pockets, who later became a patron of art and science as Bishop of Brixen. In 1457 the castle came into the possession of Hans Kripp. It belonged to this Hall family for three and a half centuries. In 1705, Gregor Hofer built a house with a barn and gate at the foot of the castle rock using the “high wall tips” that still existed from the ruins. In 1884 the Brunnenburggut came into the hands of the mayor of Dorf Tirol, Michael Sonnenburger. Source:https://www.brunnenburg.net/de/willkommen-auf-der-brunnenburg/sagengeschichte/
