Castellano Castle

Castellano, Italy

The Castle of Castellano is a fortified manor house built around 1000, located in the village of Castellano, in the municipality of Villa Lagarina.

It is one of the most famous castles of Vallagarina, offering a panorama of the entire valley. Owned by numerous noble families, of which the most important was the Lodron, it was later transformed into an Austrian-Hungarian fortress in World War I.

It once housed frescoes, now preserved in the Civic Museum of Rovereto.

Very well preserved castle, visited on the occasion of the archery competition in July 2021.

Striking with a breathtaking view of the valley. The outdoor theater is a jewel.

Pietro TheMad (5 years ago)
It can only be visited externally as it is a private property and also inhabited. From the outside we see that the maintenance leaves much to be desired probably the noble family remained without money.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
