Which castle in the province of Trieste, north-eastern Italy? The place is noted for being the place where the physicist Ludwig Boltzmann died and for inspiring a poetry masterpiece.

Its cant be so hard, because owner of this castle in this times was a well-know patroness of Rilke, this is reason, why Rilke live in the castle seven month in 1911-1912 and start writing the "Elegies".

More clues. From 16 to 19-th century this family had own postal services around the Europe and even own postage stamps. They owned brewery and gave family name to beer-brand (sold to Paulaner in 1996, but still produces beer under family name). And name of this family comes from Badger on their coat of arms.

Oh yes, now I remember it. You really asked about this family. And I answered. Now can we change places. Seems to me, that only two of us know about this family in Estonia
One more clue for others: besides postal service, this family offer one more public service in medieval time, now in many languages name of this public service called by this family.

Thurn und Taxis (German branch of family) or Torre e Tasso (Italian Branch, owners of Duino castle)) are correct
