Castel Valer

Castel Valer is a medieval fortress in the proximity of the village of Tassullo in the Val di Non at the feet of the impressive Brenta Dolomites. The monument is composed of two medieval keeps of Roman origin, as proven by archaeologic findings. The complex features the highest tower of Trentino, that is, a 40-metre high octagonal-shaped granite tower enclosed by two nuclei.

**The "salone degli Stemmi" (room of the coats of arms) and the stanze Madruzziane are only some of the wonderfully decorated rooms of the fortress which boasts a total of 100 rooms. The lower and most ancient part of the castle dates back to the 14th century and is surrounded by octagonal-shaped curtain walls, whereas the upper and newer part was added in the 16th century.

The chapel dedicated to St. Valerius inside the castle houses a precious fresco cycle by the fratelli Baschenis.

From 1368 to 2022 the castle was in the hands of the Spaur family and was then acquired by the Province of Trento (Provincia di Trento), its current owner.

The castle is accessible with a guided tour prior reservation. On the day of your visit turn up at the entrance of the castle at least 15 minutes early.
