The wood carver Christina Rifesser was running a workshop in the old farmhouse Domur back in 1888. When Matthias Comploy inherited the farmhouse in Tieja from his mother in 1903, he turned it into a turn-of-the-century style villa and set up a private teaching workshop for sculpting and altar-building carpentry. As of 1910, the teacher Albino Pitscheider and his family lived here and Comploy had to auction the workshop after the First World War.

Plajes stands on visible layers of Gröden sandstone and was the birthplace and home to Jakob Sotriffer (1796-1856), the first teacher at the illustrating school founded in 1825. The school was even housed in Plajes at one point. There is an initial collection of Gröden wood carvings by Sotriffer, which he put together for the Ferdinandeum in Innsbruck in 1828 for documentation purposes. There are some examples of it in Museum Gherdëina.

This detached farmhouse separated from Scurcia, its mother farm, and was first mentioned in records in 1420. In 1520, it passed to the fraternity of St. Anna church, as is reflected in the name. This shared farmhouse was converted in the 20th century and the wooden 'palancin' structure turned into a balcony. The sculptor Franz Tavella and, later, the sculptor and crib carver Luis Alois Insam worked at Doss dl Preve in the 1890s. 

The farmhouse is the result of expansion of the original farm site in 1836 with a wooden, two-storey veranda. The sculptor Vinzenz Moroder (1889-1980) set up his workshop on the ground floor, which is still there today. The stations of the cross to Kreuz chapel, with originals in Museum Gherdëina, are by him. The name of the farm, Resciesa, was already mentioned in records in the 14th century, and means 'red rock/rubble' and is a reference to the porphyry that may be found in abundance near the farm.

Stufan farm site (today Villa Margherita) is considered to be one of the oldest recorded settlement sites in St. Ulrich. The altar builder and manufacturer, Josef Rifesser Sr., built the twin farmhouses in 1872 and, in 1882, converted them into an art school for church interior decorations with its own sculpture and carpentry workshop. The business was one of the largest altar-building workshops in St. Ulrich around 1900.  His son, Josef Jr. (bera Sepl da Stufan), carried on with the company and opened a branch at the railway station in Brixen.
