Castelinho Caracol

A colorful wooden house built by German immigrants in 1913, now a museum of immigrant history that serves apple strudel.

The small castle was built by the Frantz family, German immigrants, using local timber and mortise-and-tenon joinery without a single nail. Inside, visitors see antique furniture and everyday items from immigrant life. The apple strudel from the ground-floor café is famous. Admission requires a ticket. It lies on the road to Caracol Falls, so it can be visited on the way.
