Castello di Tenno

About

The massive form, lightened by the battlements, accentuates the austere grandeur of the underlying fortified village. The castle, vigilant over the old road of Lake Garda and the “Giudicarie Esteriori”, represents a striking ornamental and historic model integrated in Trentino’s unique landscape. A collapse in 1920 destroyed the quadrangular donjon, but the castle had already been sacked in the eighteenth century by the french troops of general Vendôme. The keep walls are rich of history and display inscriptions and coats of arms belonging to Princes and Bishops. The castle is a private estate and cannot be visited.
