Tarasp-Fontana

Schloss Tarasp
Tarasp Castle was built around 1040 by the lords of Tarasp, who had moved to the Engadin from the Lake Como region. In 1803, Tarasp, one of the last enclaves in Switzerland, was annexed to the Helvetic Republic by Napoleon. At the turn of the century, the castle was acquired and renovated by the Dresden industrialist Dr. Karl August Lingner. After Lingner's death, Tarasp Castle came into the possession of the von Hessen family, who remained in possession of the complex until 2016, when it was acquired by the artist Not Vital. Today, Tarasp is home to a collection of antique, modern and contemporary art. Not Vital's foundation also owns the Parkin, a sculpture park in Sent, and the historic Plantahaus in Ardez.

It is incredible to think that was built without modern technology. A very impressive sight. V
