History
The settlement of Torilan was first mentioned in a 923 deed of the Salzburg archbishops. About 1200, the Counts of Tyrol had Neuhaus Castle erected high above the Adige valley. The fortress was later held by the Gorizia-Tyrol dynasty and in the 19th century received the name Maultasch Castle, after Countess Margaret whose residencies are however not substantiated. Under the reign of the Habsburg archdukes Frederick IV and Sigismund of Austria, it was the centre of an important lead (galena) and silver mining area, including several furnaces and loading stations on the Adige river.
=Coat-of-arms=
The emblem show an open gate with guelph merlon of argent on gules background. It is the arms of Lord Niedertor who acquired the castle in 1397 and ruled the village until 1559 contributing in the building of the Parish church. The arms were granted in 1966 and decorate the church too.[http://www.ngw.nl/int/ita/t/terlan.htm Heraldry of the World: Terlan]
