Here, you can learn all about one of the most important vehicles in South Tyrolean agriculture. A total of 30 'Porsche-Diesel' tractors of different vintages which have been lovingly restored to the last detail may be admired. Visitors will be fascinated by other such motorised workhorses, particularly the veteran of the collection – a 'Balilla' from 1929. Art and culture lovers should not miss out on the parish church of Kuens. This building, assumed to date back to the 8th century, was restored in the 12th century in Romanesque style and is dedicated to St. Mauritius and Corbinian. The latter founded a monastery in Kuens and the village crest depicts him riding a bear on a pilgrimage to Rome. The chancel and pointed arch portal from the 15th century as well as the wall paintings and a sundial on the outside wall are well worth seeing.
