 The Tyrolean lordship was ruled from Taufers Castle, a huge medieval fortress which towers on a rock above the village and was built from the early 13th century onwards.Restored in the 20th century, the preserved castle complex is a popular film location, providing the setting of the 1998 drama film "The Red Violin", the 2003 comedy "Just Married" and the 2016 comedy "".It also served as a picturesque backdrop for Roman Polanski's 1967 horror classic "The Fearless Vampire Killers".
