Original furnishings

Schenna Castle is one of the few castles or palaces in South Tyrol that still boasts its original furnishings. A tour vividly conveys the beauty of the furniture of the various styles of past centuries: magnificent cabinets and chairs from the Renaissance, comfortable items from the bourgeois Biedermeier style, or delicate and playful seating furniture from the Gothic revival, a style particularly popular with Archduke John, as clearly indicated by his Brandhof Castle in Styria and Mausoleum in Schenna. It is not only the furniture that demonstrates the strong sense for art of the owners of the Castle, but also the beautiful Delft faience stove in the Knight’s Hall, richly decorated with representations of the four seasons, the signs of the zodiac, the planets and mythological figures.

The furnishings not only include furniture, but also everyday objects that demonstrate the simplicity of life and modesty even of noble circles. There are the double beds of John and his wife Anna with their bed linen, including their chamber pots and the linen towels and dishes used in the bathrooms of the time, which had no running water.

Visitors will also notice the tablecloths and serviettes of coarse linen and fine cotton that Anna, Countess of Meran artistically decorated with the initials of the archducal family. The elegant dinner service comes from the Viennese porcelain manufactory Augarten, while the tea and coffee services are from Bohemia. ​
