The general secularization of Germany, in 1802, destroyed thè immediate power and importance of both citi es, though they are nominally represented in the defective, though costly and delusive diets of the Tyrol. The environs of Brixen, on the Eisack, are enriched with many fine castles and forts, almost as numerous as those in the neighbourhood of Meran. One of the most remarkable castles is Trostburg , raised on Roman

foundations, and embellished with Roman antiquities, dose to the Eisack, and opposite to Kollmann ; not far removed, are the picturesque ruins of Hauevstein, now believed by the peasantry to be the abode of spectres, but once the noble residence of the illustrious Oswald of Wolkenstein.
