Sights in St. Christina

In addition to pastures and mountains, St. Christina offers many other highlights you should not miss during your visit in Gröden. These include, for instance, the parish church with artworks of renowned sculptors from the region as well as Fischburg Castle, a summer and hunting castle in the Renaissance style that is in private hands today.

Also, the sundial on Monte Pana high plateau is worth a visit. It is a spherical equatorial sundial indicating the real local time for St. Christina and 60 other cities as well as the Central European time. Another sight that confirms Gröden to be the “valley of woodcarving” can be found in the village centre of St. Christina: Since 1989, the local woodcarvers are creating the world's biggest crib – adding new sculptures every year.
