Tschötscher Farm Life Museum

Delve into the history of the Alpe di Siusi area and visit the Tschötscherhof, a 500-year-old farm in Sant'Osvaldo, a hamlet near Castelrotto. The farm lies southwest of Castelrotto at 741 metres above sea level. Housed within the beautiful building is a small private farm museum vividly depicting the life of mountain farmers and lumberjacks from the beginning of the 20th century.

It opened 20 years ago in collaboration with the Castelrotto Museum Association, which also runs the Castelrotto Museum of Traditional Costumes and the Tagusens School Museum.

Inside the farm's barn, exhibits spread over two floors await, covering themes of faith, work (e.g., wool production), and the traditions of the people of Castelrotto and the surrounding area. The Tschötscherhof still processes wood for its own use today.

The farm also includes a restaurant serving local specialities. In autumn, it invites you to the traditional Toerggelen festivities with roasted chestnuts. How to get there: You can reach Sant'Osvaldo via the Ponte Gardena-Castelrotto provincial road or by bus (e.g., from Castelrotto).
