In 1907, altar-maker Josef Höglinger had the Villa Schönblick built beneath the Plajes Hof farm. The villa housed a workshop, rooms for visiting artisans, and a small guesthouse.

In 1926, additional rooms were built in an annex; Höglinger also relocated his workshop to the new premises, replacing its predecessor with a dining room. The Villa Schönblick thus became the Hotel Regina, run by the Höglinger family until its sale and demolition in 2008, after which it was replaced by the Hotel Adler Balance. 

Although the house and workshop which art distributor Franz Schmalzl de Ianesc built on Antonibo-den in 1872/73 was unassuming in size and nature, by the turn of the century the Marienheim had grown to become the third-largest hotel in St. Ulrich— complete with a swimming pool and a dining room which occupied an entire floor.

In 1875, Ferdinand Stuflesser founded a sculpture workshop at the Petlin Hof farm, complete with a 15-metre-high workroom for altarpieces. In 1910, Ferdinand’s son Johann took over the business and expanded the market overseas.

After the 1830s, Haus Bugon was the seat of 'Insam & Prinoth', one of the largest pre-First World War toy manufacturers in Gröden. The company had a branch in Nuremberg in 1820 and, later on, one in London. There was a large warehouse as well as the manufacturing premises with offices and packaging workshop housed in a stable and the goods were transported from there to the point connecting up with the railway network.

The former stable at Panahof farm was extended by Johann Baptist Purger in 1854 for the purpose of packaging toys and, at a later date, altars, for export. A bridge over the Annabach stream was built at the same time to ease transport by sledge. Today, the packaging house is home to an eatery with a western façade consisting of porphyry stone blocks like the bridge, while its foundations are made of solid Gröden sandstone.

On the spot of the cultural centre there was once a multi-storey building constructed in 1854 in urban style by the manufacturer, Johann Baptist Purger, along with some council offices and doctor's surgery. It also served as a temporary warehouse for the toy manufacturer Anton Sotriffer. Both buildings influenced the character of Kirchplatz, until, in 1969, they had to make way for a congress hall for the 1970 Winter Olympics built at the turn of the century and bearing the name 'Kulturhaus Luis Trenker'.

Johann Baptist Purger started living in Haus Pana in 1832. He had the new road from Gröden to Waidbruck constructed in 1856, which played a significant role in the valley's economic boom. The building is on the original site of a farm at Kirchplatz that dates back in records to the 11th century and used to belong to the Lords of Freising. Its present appearance is an extension carried out in 1908 in the historical turn-of-the-century villa style.

This turn-of-the-century villa, known as the 'red house', or 'angel's castle' because of its statue of St. Michael, was built by the altar builder and manufacturer Josef Runggaldier, living in the 'Blue House' next door, for his son Josef Jr. and was equipped with its own workshop on the ground floor. It is still used as an atelier today by sculptor Hermann-Josef Runggaldier, a great-grandson of the original constructor.

Villa Rifesser, since 2006 a listed building that was influenced by late Historicism and features a verandah with Jugendstil elements, came about in 1890 thanks to the conversion of the old farmhouse by the altar builder and manufacturer, Josef Rifesser. His son, Josef Jr., carved four wooden busts of figures involved in the Tyrolean Rebellion of 1809 for the bay window. The workshop on the ground floor was used by the sculptor, Pepi Rifesser, a grandson of the builder, until the turn of the century.

Josef Moroder Lusenberg and his son Josef had Sonnenburg erected in 1904 on the site of the old mill at Cudanbach stream. A workshop for sacred sculpture was set up on the ground floor, where Josef Jr. built up an ecclesiastical art business. The turn-of-the-century building stands out thanks to its half-hipped roof, which is rare for Gröden, bay window and turret with a sundial painted on the wall beneath some double arched windows.
