About Castel Roncolo (Runkelstein Castle)
Castel Roncolo was built in 1237 by the lords of Bolzano as a fortified residence above the Adige valley. In the late fourteenth century, the Vintler merchant family enlarged it and commissioned an extensive fresco cycle depicting courtly romance and chivalric legend. The castle became renowned for one of the largest collections of secular medieval wall painting in the Alps.
