Pictured is the spa hotel built in 1856 at the Innichen mineral springs (located between the towns of Innichen and Sexten/Sesto) by Dr Johann Graf Scheiber, a Hungarian doctor, and later extended by his daughter and her husband Graf Bercker; the view looks south towards the Dolomites. Visible are the extensive grounds of the spa hotel, whose architecture dates from the transition from Historicism to Art Nouveau, with its bay windows, oriel turrets with domed roofs, loggias, decorative paintings, wooden window frames and curved gables. It was partially destroyed during the First World War and has since been left to decay; only a ruin now remains.
