From the charming old farm in St. Magdalena, Italy to the historic city pharmacy on Reichenstrasse in Fuessen, Germany, it has transformed these architectural gems into true works of art. In the inner courtyard of the High Castle of Fuessen, one can admire how facade painting adds depth and character to this majestic structure. Meanwhile, traditional facades in Bad Reichenhall and Wallgau showcase their rich Bavarian heritage with stunning motifs that tell stories of times gone by. Venturing further east to Lesachtal in Austria, a farmhouse adorned with traditional facade painting stands as a testament to local craftsmanship and cultural pride. The historic inn zum Stern in Oetz welcomes visitors with its beautifully painted exterior that exudes warmth and hospitality. Prosels Castle's inner courtyard in Vols am Schlern captivates with its enchanting facade paintings that transport you back to medieval times. And not far away, Lindau's historic town hall proudly displays its ornate facade amidst the picturesque old town on Lake Constance.
