Knights’ Games from 20 to 22 August 2021
Schluderns once again offers the ideal backdrop for the South Tyrolean Knights’ Games. In the historical ambience of Churburg Castle, the Lichtenberg castle ruins, Fürstenburg Castle and Marienberg Monastery, spectacular show fights will keep the spectators in suspense from 20 to 22 August 2021.
Proud knights take aim at their opponents. They dash into battle on their dapper horses, lances bursting, armour clanking, the noble lords crowning their victor. Roman chariots race each other, the crowd cheered and marvelled at all kinds of exotic and curious things.
