Messner Mountain Museum Juval Castle

Built in the year 1250 at the gateway to Val Senales this majestic castle, owned by the endurance mountaineer Reinhold Messner, is now a vineyard, an organic farm, a wine restaurant and a museum. The Messner Mountain Museum Juval is one of five museums belonging to a comprehensive project exploring the relationship between people and mountains.

Juval Castle displays everything surrounding the "Myth of the Mountain" by means of various art collections. These include Messner's mask collection from five continents, a gallery spanning several floors with images from holy mountains, a Tibetan collection, a Tantra room and the expedition cellar.
