Churches, monasteries, castles and palaces: on the “Days of Romanesque Art” on 11 and 12 October 2025, 33 cultural sites across South Tyrol and in nearby Switzerland will open their doors for free guided tours.
Immerse yourself in monastic life of the past, step into otherwise inaccessible chapels, peek behind castle walls – these and other extraordinary experiences await you during the “Days of Romanesque Art”.
On free and exclusive guided tours, you can admire the hidden beauty and historical secrets of both well-known and inconspicuous monuments and sacred buildings dating from between 950 and the mid-13th century.
The supporting programme offers fascinating insights into the history and culture of the Vinschgau region. At the Monastery of St. John in Müstair (Switzerland), archaeologist Marion Veith invites you to a free lecture entitled “Uncertain Times? Conflict Situations in Müstair through the Lens of Archaeology”, highlighting tensions around the year 1200 as revealed by discovered arrowheads. At St. Proculus Church in Naturns, the collaboration with the Monastery of St. John in Müstair will be deepened through a complementary lecture. The atmospheric finale takes place in Laas with a special tour of three sites, ending with a glass of wine at sunset.
