Trauttmansdorff Castle

Trauttmansdorff Castle is a castle located south of the city of Merano, South Tyrol, northern Italy. Since 1543, the castle and gardens were owned by the House of Trauttamandsorff, one of the oldest and most distinguished Austrian noble families.[1] It is home to the Touriseum, a museum of tourism[2] and since 2001 the surrounding grounds have been open as the Trauttmansdorff Castle Gardens, a botanical garden.

During the years of fascist Italy the castle was called di Nova Castle (Torrente Nova is the name of a little brook near Trauttmansdorff).
