Historically, Dorf Tirol is a very important village, as the Counts of Tyrol built their ancestral home here, which subsequently gave the whole country its name. The village has also developed from a small farming village into a major holiday destination in Meran and environs: Tourism has become an integral part of Dorf Tirol.

If you are interested in the history of this region, you should not miss a visit of Tyrol Castle with a special museum for cultural and provincial history. In addition to the permanent exhibition, various theme exhibitions are also organised from time to time. The legendary Brunnenburg Castle below Tyrol Castle is home to an agricultural museum and an Ezra Pound memorial centre, among other things.
