Reifenstein Castle
is a castle in Freienfeld, near Sterzing,
in South Tyrol (northern Italy). It is located near a dried marsh, in the
valley of the Eisack. The castle is mentioned for the first time in the 12th
century, and was modified in the 14th century. It is a property of the Thurn
und Taxis counts. It is famous for the decorated "Green Hall" with
Gothic paintings and a woodcarved chapel-door, the stubes and the collection of armors. The castle also contains an
original kitchen, bathroom and medieval sleeping bunks. One of its owners
included William P. Carr, who bought the castle a bit before the second world
war. At that time, his last name was Reifenstein, but before he went to war he
changed his name to Carr. Source
