Castel Toblino

Originally an ancient temple probably used for fairy rituals, the monument on the shores of Lake Toblino became immediately one of the most well-known lacustrine fortresses of the Valle dei Laghi and the entire region of Trentino.

Over the course of time, many legends and forbidden love affairs accumulated around the castle which owes its current appearance to Bernardo Clesio and to the lords of Madruzzo who modified it in the 16th century. Its western wall and the turret in the north-west are the only remains of the original, mediaeval building. The 20 m high cylindrical tower is the most emblematic symbol of the castle.

Inside the building you can admire wonderful artworks. The stunning music hall is completely covered with frescoes showing medieval musical instruments. The Wolkenstein cellars and the rooms used for wine production are also worth visiting. The sweet grapes were placed on drying racks, pressed, aged and finally made into the famous Vino Santo Trentino.

After having undergone several years of restoration, Castel Toblino can now be visited. The castle is perfectly suitable for overnight stays and complete with a restaurant and bar.
