Castel Belasi

Unlike most other castles, Castel Belasi, a prestigious fief from the 12th century, was built for community purposes rather than as a defensive structure. In the course of time the fortress changed hands several times and was, among others, in the possession of the Belasio, Sporo and Khuen di Termeno families, which were at the time the most important noble families of the Val di Non. The monument owes its current appearance to Pancrazio Khuen Belasi.

The castle is surrounded by a high curtain wall which is decorated with several elements including two watchtowers to protect the two main entrances, the ravelin, the square, the inner courtyard and the pentagonal granite keep overlooking the entire complex. A spiral staircase leads up to the "Sala d'Assedio", a room from where you can enjoy stunning panoramic views of the Val di Non and the Belfort, Sporo, Thun and Valer castles.

Today Castel Belasi is a property of the municipality of Campodenno and can be visited.
