Construction of the '400 in late Gothic style

In the Palace, a severe fifteenth-century building in late Gothic style, formerly the seat of the “mining judge” at the time of Sigismund, Duke of Austria and Count of Tyrol, there is a small ethnographic museum, organized on three floors. On the mezzanine floor, where the craft activities section begins, there is the room dedicated to the blacksmith with equipment from a forge in the area, active until the seventies. On the first floor there are the tools of the carpenter, the saddler, the itinerant chairman, then the spinning and weaving sections, objects of domestic use, haymaking and cultivation, and finally dairy activity. The second floor is dedicated to mines, with an exhibition of tools, minerals, photographic documentation, and to the figure of Luigi Negrelli, a native of Primiero, the famous creator of the Suez Canal, whose numerous works in the road, railway, water and architectural fields are also remembered
