St. Pauls

Grown to love.

St. Pauls, where the Leitnhof stands his ground, has a town center with especially beautiful, traditional facades and many oriels. Not easy for motorists! There are about 2,500 people living in the village,
it lies 394 m above sea level.

St. Pauls is well knowned all over the country especially for the Wine Culture Weeks in July and August – and is well visited during these months. The Paulsner village festival takes place every two years, on the first weekend of September.

During Christmas advent, the wine village of St. Pauls transforms itself into a “crib village”. From late November to the Epiphany, the niches, oriels and windows of the historical streets are adorned with more than 100 handmade cribs.

Cast from straw, paper, wood and stone, made of chocolate, painted, carved or sewn – the cribs are true masterpieces of craftsmanship. Every day at 4 pm they are atmospherically illuminated. There is also a “Living Nativity Scene” you should not miss.

Art historically unique is the “dome in the country” in the center of St. Pauls. The impressively large parish church of the conversion of Saint Paul dates back to the 15th century. Nobleman from the area paid for the expansion of the old church in order to demonstrate their power and wealth. The 85 meter high tower was completed in 1747. In it is the largest and most famous bell of South Tyrol,
the “Anna Maria”. Its diameter is 183.5 cm and it weighs 3860 kg. Its tone is a full „A“.
