Description
Tirol Castle or Castle Tyrol (German: Schloss Tirol, Italian: Castel Tirolo) is a castle near Meran, Italy. It was the ancestral seat of the counts of Tyrol and gave the region of Tyrol its name. The first castle was built before 1100. The second construction phase including the keep dates to 1139/40. A third phase of construction took place in the second half of the 13th century under Count Meinhard II. The castle was the seat of Tyrol's sovereigns until 1420, when Duke Frederick IV moved the seat to Innsbruck, Austria. Today, Tirol Castle houses the South Tyrolean Museum of History.

Sandra, I'm a Euge fan of castles and was so excited when you posted this image. What a breathtaking capture this is as I can't get over the surroundings the castle was Constructed in. It was fascinating to read the history and to learn of the renovations that took place over such a long period of time. This is one castle I would love to see in person one day
