Runkelstein Castle, located in Bolzano, Italy, is a remarkable medieval fortress renowned for its extensive and well-preserved frescoes that depict scenes of courtly life, chivalry, and folklore. Constructed in 1237 by the lords of Wangen, the castle offers a picturesque view as it sits atop a rocky outcrop overlooking the city. Over the centuries, it has witnessed various phases of renovation and ownership, with significant contributions from the wealthy Bolzano merchants, the Vintler brothers, in the late 14th century.
