Castel Caldes

Castel Caldes is located in the village of Caldes only a few kilometres from Malé at the entrance of the Val di Sole. Some architectural elements of this impressive castle recall those of the monuments situated at the border of the Bishopric of Trento.

The current appearance of the castle is the result of several architectural modifications, launched by Rambaldo and Arnoldo Cagnò between the 13th and the 16th century. Its five-floor tower served as a residence, as well as a guard tower to control the commercial activities of the Val di Sole. In 1464 the fortress came into the possession of the Thun family, who enlarged it. Thanks to the restoration works carried out by its current owner, that is, the Autonomous Province of Trento, it is now accessible to the public.

Inside the castle you can admire vaulted ceilings and various rooms with frescoes and wooden decorations. The little chapel devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary was decorated with frescoes by Elia Naurizio and is definitely worth a visit.

Important: the castle is right in front of the railway station of Caldes (route Trento - Malé) and can be visited prior reservation.

The castle is closed until 21 March 2026.
