Castles in the area of Non'S Valley, palaces and mansions

The Non'S Valley area is rich in castles, towers, and historic houses, a strong testimony of medieval architecture. A dense network of manors spreads over the whole territory, in the plains, on the gentle hill slopes and perched on rocky mountains, surrounded by vineyards, beech and chestnut woods. Built in strategic positions, they dominate the surrounding valleys, often with mighty crenellated walls and lively interior decorations made on frescoed walls to recall the opulence of the local noble families. Many can be visited, still others used as private homes, and still others only ruins bearing witness to a glorious past. Discover with Visititaly, the fortresses, the villas, the forts, the historic buildings, the noble residences and all the places linked to culture that characterize the Non'S Valley area. If you have visited a castle and would like to share your experience with others, please report it here!

Ton - Castles, palaces and mansions

Castel San Pietro

In addition to a beautiful panorama of the Brenta Dolomites, the San Pietro Castle has a historical and architectural value. It was built by the Thun family in medieval style around the 12th century. According to Franco Lancetti, who did the renovation of the castle, the tower had to be 15 meters high and around 6 meters in diameter. Historical testimonies show that the building also housed the chapel of St. Peter from which the castle took its name. It was abandoned at the end of the 17th century by the Thun and today we find the ruins of the castle.
