The village of Castelbadia and its eponymous castle are some of the most interesting places for Roman findings

The village of Castelbadia counts 140 inhabitants and is situated at an altitude of 862 m a.s.l. northwest of the administrative centre of the municipality. At the entrance of the village rises an impressive noble residence: the Ansitz Hebenstreit. Formerly, the building was in the hands of the Lords von Glurnhör, today however it is a private property. Some wonderfully decorated farms with paintings characterise the main road.
The village of Castelbadia (also known as Ciastel Badia) is located on a very steep rock. Cultural gems you should not miss here are the crypt and the conventual church with its oversized Christ from the 12th century. On a field below the castle of Castelbadia a milestone from Roman times was found in 1857. This object can be admired at the Ferdinandeum in Innsbruck whereas a duplicate was sculptured in the place it had been found in.
