Taufers Castle

Built in the 1220’s, by a noble-free family named Taufers. This powerful castle is a dynastic seat of the Barons of Taufers. In the 15th and 16th centuries the grounds were renovated into an expansive castle residence, most of them built in the early 16th century.

The preserved castle complex is a popular film location, providing the setting of the films The Red Violin, Just Married. It also served as a picturesque backdrop for Roman Polanski's 1967 horror classic The Fearless Vampire Killers.
