The SEVI company run by Vinzenz Senoner was (together with ANRI of Anton Riffeser) one of the most important employers in Gröden, with 140 employees and 200 workers from home, and it was one of Europe's leading wood carving producers. Haus Vastlé was constructed in 1831 by Senoner's father, Josef Anton, who started exporting small wooden figurines and toys. After construction of factory premises in Pontives in 1965, SEVI company headquarters were transferred there in 1977. Nowadays, there is a new building where the old one used to be.

Around 1870, Alois (Levisc) Riffesser founded one of the first export businesses for wooden toys and souvenirs at Plan da Tieja. In 1877, he built the several-storey-high Maciaconi building as his home and company premises with shop, which was even mentioned in a poem by Leo Runggaldier about a rattling wooden toy. The building itself and Dossesplatz square became a popular motif for engravings and historical picture postcards.

Johann Baptist Moroder, son of Josef Moroder Lusenberg and himself one of the most important Gröden sculptors around 1900, built Villa Venezia in 1903/04 based on his own designs for a residence in neo-Renaissance style with a balustrade featuring marble wooden columns. A sculptor's studio and domed skylight were included. The mills from Planaces farm, the forge with furnace and a sawmill used to be in front of the newly built house.

Villa Argentina is reminiscent of a 23-metre high, 10-metre wide high altar built for a church in Cordoba (Argentina) between 1918 and 1920. In charge of construction of the altar - the largest ever built in Gröden - was Josef Stuflesser (Bera Pepi de Petlin), who took over the ecclesiastical art academy in J.B. Purgerstraße after the First World War. Stuflesser bought this house with the proceeds of the Cordoba work and moved his office and residence here.

The several-storey building was built in 1890 by the sculptor and publisher Anton Sotriffer. He opened a store selling general groceries here in 1920/21 that also sold wood carvings and wooden toys sourced from different producers in the valley and partly painted himself. An innovative spirit, Sotriffer experimented with new materials and products during the crisis between the two world wars. Sotriffer's shop still exists today.
