Commissioned in 1536 by Hans von Rubatsch with the approval of Emperor Ferdinand I, the castle was completed in just twelve months and later passed to the Colz family, from whom it takes its name. It's imposing yet harmonious structure, punctuated by towers and compact volumes, blends seamlessly into the surrounding Dolomite landscape.
The interiors preserve the original charm of the castle, with vaulted ceilings, antique wood paneling, period furnishings and decorative details that echo the noble Alpine tradition. Each room tells a story, offering a refined balance between historical authenticity and timeless hospitality.
Known in the local Ladin language as Gran Ciasa, the castle has long been a cultural and symbolic landmark of the valley - a place steeped in history, elegance and natural beauty. Today, thanks to a careful conservative restoration, the property offers a rare opportunity for those wishing to inhabit or enhance a truly unique architectural heritage, immersed in the authenticity of the UNESCO-listed Dolomites.
