A lovely place to stop for a break after a hike along the Oachner Höfeweg. I can wholeheartedly recommend the delicious buckwheat cake.

Prösels Castle was first mentioned in a document in 1279. Its construction, then still known as Prösels Castle, dates back to the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries. The castle underwent a major alteration at the beginning of the 16th century, for which Leonhard von Völs was responsible. The Barons of Völs family had been the family that owned the castle the longest and thus significantly shaped its present appearance. It was chosen as the family seat of the Barons of Völs due to its strategically favorable geographical location, which also seemed ideally suited for defense purposes. Therefore, Prösels Castle was equipped with the most modern military and defensive technology of its time. At that time, it served to ward off enemies while simultaneously meeting the need for representation and comfortable living. Events that occurred at Prösels Castle at the beginning of the 16th century certainly cast a dark shadow over the castle's history. Between 1506 and 1510, the so-called witch trials were held at Prösels Castle, which was also the seat of the Fiè district court. Around 30 people were sentenced to death. A memorial at the entrance to the castle, erected by the municipality of Fiè allo Sciliar, commemorates these tragic witch burnings. The following inscription is inscribed on this memorial: "The municipality of Fiè allo Sciliar commemorates its fellow citizens who were convicted as witches and sorcerers 500 years ago. Their burning at the stake of ignorance and delusion serves as a warning to us, the next generation, and makes us vigilant against intolerance and every form of exclusion." Since then, the ravages of time have taken their toll on the walls of Prösels Castle, leaving it increasingly to decay. Thanks to the commitment of private individuals, this decay was ultimately prevented. The Kuratorium Schloss Prösels GmbH has owned the castle since 1981.

The majestic Presule castle is a fortress located in South Tyrol, nestled in the Sciliar plateau, in the heart of the Dolomites. This castle is a magnificent example of Gothic architecture, whose construction dates back to the time of Maximilian I of Habsburg in 1517, as indicated above the entrance portal. However, it should be noted that the lords of Fiè, the custodians of the heritage of the bishops of Bressanone, built the fortress as far back as 1200. Access to the castle requires a fee and it often hosts cultural events. There is also a cozy café at the entrance which adds a touch of charm to the place.
