Intro
Tarasp Castle is the landmark of the Lower Engadine. It is enthroned high up on the rocky hill on the right side of the Inn River valley. With its almost 1000-year history, the castle is a popular destination for young and old.
Tarasp Castle was built around the year 1040 by the Lords of Tarasp, who had moved to the Engadin from the area of Lake Como. In 1803 Tarasp, as one of the last enclaves of Switzerland, was annexed by Napoleon to the Helvetic Republic. At the turn of the century, the castle was acquired and renovated by the Dresden industrialist Dr. Karl August Lingner. After Lingner's death, Tarasp Castle came into the possession of the von Hessen family, which remained in possession of the complex until 2016, when it was acquired by the artist Not Vital. Today Tarasp houses a collection of ancient, modern and contemporary art. Not Vital's foundation also includes the Parkin, a sculpture park in Sent, and the historic Plantahaus in Ardez.
