Holiday Apartment in St. Pauls: Among Wine, History and Trails

St. Pauls combines a distinctive historic village center with ecclesiastical art, wine-growing traditions and paths through fields and vineyards. Traditional house façades, intricate bay windows and picturesque alleyways characterize the center. When choosing a holiday apartment in St. Pauls, the desired combination of local history, culinary experiences and landscapes can therefore provide the right setting for your trip.

Historic St. Pauls between the Church and the Village Center

The parish church of the Conversion of St. Paul stands in the village center and is often nicknamed the “Cathedral in the Countryside.” Its interior is designed as a late Gothic hall church with three naves. The parish church is also home to the “Anna-Maria” bell, which has a diameter of more than 1.8 meters and weighs just over 3.8 tons. The cemetery of St. Pauls complements the historic ensemble with round-arched arcades and Tuscan columns.

Bronze Age and Roman Traces in Aich

Remarkable evidence of the past can also be found beyond the village center. An extensive Bronze Age settlement was discovered near the former Gamberoni nursery in San Paolo. In the hamlet of Aich above the village center of St. Pauls, the remains of a Roman villa with an almost completely preserved, colorful floor mosaic were also found. The Church of St. Justina in Aich features a carved altar and stands among the fertile vineyards above the hill of St. Pauls.

Holiday Apartment in St. Pauls with Wine Culture and Regional Cuisine

The WeinKulturWochen take place every summer in St. Pauls. Fine wines and regional specialties are the focus of the event. This culinary experience includes the “Gastliche Tafel,” featuring dishes prepared by five chefs under the direction of Herbert Hintner. At the dumpling evening, the South Tyrolean women farmers of St. Pauls serve traditional homemade South Tyrolean dumpling specialties made with regional ingredients. Those choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home can incorporate such culinary highlights into their personal travel plans.

Vineyards, Fields and Mountain Views

The landscape can be explored along a variety of paths. A wide trail over unpaved ground runs between fields and vineyards and offers views of the Schlern, Latemar and Texel Group. A sunny circular trail also opens up views of the Schlern and the Rosengarten, connecting this landscape with the centuries-old tradition of South Tyrol’s wine-growing region. This allows tranquil impressions of the landscape and the cultural side of St. Pauls to be considered as distinct focuses of your stay.

Special Events in the Village Center

During KrippenWeihnacht, the alleyways of St. Pauls become a nativity scene exhibition featuring around 100 nativity scenes in different forms and styles, displayed in the historic houses of the village center. The weekly program also includes a guided tour of the parish church of St. Pauls. In addition to the buildings that permanently shape the village, special events and insights into local traditions can therefore also be included in your travel plans.
