Visit of Archduke Franz Karl to Merano and the Passeier Valley
In July 1824, Archduke Franz Karl visited Merano, the Passeier Valley, and Castle Tyrol. In St. Leonhard, the royal guest met the family of Andreas Hofer, executed in 1810, as well as his former comrades-in-arms. The journey was marked by festive receptions by the civic guard, Landesschützen, and local authorities.
