Although the house and workshop which art distributor Franz Schmalzl de Ianesc built on Antoniboden 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 Ortisei— complete with a swimming pool and a dining room which occupied an entire floor.

In 1872, Ferdinand Demetz da Furdenan opened the first public training workshop for sculptors in Ortisei. The multi-storey building on the eastern edge of Ortisei was purchased by the local council in 1938 and the art school that had in the meantime moved out moved back in again. In 1999, a new construction was set up on the spot of the original Cademia building, which houses the art school today.

In remembrance of the soldiers fallen in the First World War a chapel was built next to the parish church at Annabach in accordance with plans by Adolf Keim, an illustrator and teacher at the art school in Val Gardena. There is a bronze-like 'Pietà' sculpture by L. Moroder from 1921 in the semi-enclosed construction with gabled roof featuring the names of soldiers fallen in both world wars written in plaques on both sides.
