Prösels Castle is located in the village of Prösels, just before Völs am Schlern. The medieval building was first mentioned in a document in 1279, under the name "Castrum Presile." It received its current form in the 16th century. Leonhard von Völs, provincial captain and burgrave of Tyrol, had the castle converted into a magnificent Renaissance-style residence. An inscription on the outer gate of the castle attests to the year 1517 as the year of reconstruction. Until his death in 1530, Leonhard the Elder von Völs lived at Prösels Castle. In the following years, the castle changed hands about 14 times, until 1978, when the Kuratorium Schloss Prösels GmbH acquired the property. After extensive restoration work, it was opened to the public in 1982. Today, in addition to guided tours, concerts, exhibitions, and theater performances also take place there.
