Castel Thun

The history of the castle Thun is closely related to the family Ton

Castel Thun stands on a hill in the lower Val di Non, near the village of Vigo di Ton, and delights its visitors with a fantastic panoramic view. Built in the mid-13th century, the monument served as a residence for the powerful Ton family, ancient episcopal lords who played a significant role in shaping the political scene of the area for about eight centuries.

The impressive military monument is an example of Gothic architecture and surrounded by a complex fortification system. The impressive towers, massive turrets, bastions and the majestic Porta Spagnola attract numerous visitors. If you cross the drawbridge, you will enter the inner courtyard overlooked by two mediaeval towers and 18 impressive stone pillars. Opposite stands the palace, the most ancient part of the castle.

This castle of inestimable historic and architectural value houses precious furniture, a spacious library with 10,000 works, stunning halls and rooms, an armoury and numerous majolic stoves. In summer, the verdant park and garden of the building turns into a venue for concerts and cultural events.
