Every booklet in this Series presents an important medieval fortress, a castle, a stately home or a fortified complex in central Europe. The carefully and competently written texts, the ample number of photographs and the many drawings and plans provide both experts and booklovers interested in history and culture with state-of-the-art research on castles. In addition to extraordinary architectural photographs, many specially created drawings illustrate previous forms and buildings, while information boxes analyse various Subjects and provide the main historical data.
The Churburg in Upper Vinschgau is one of the richest furnished castles of Tirol. The climax of the visit is the European famous armory chamber. The author presents the 750-year-old history of the Churburg, which since the 16th century is in the possession of the aristocratic Trapp family. The family will until today live and maintain this house. Superb pictures illustrate the tour through the castle with the impressive arcaded courtyard.
