The history of the castle Thun is closely related to the family Ton
Image gallery: Castel Thun
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 family Ton, 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. Visitors will be enthraled by the beauty of its towers, turrets, silvery bastions and the majestic Porta Spagnola. After having crossed the drawbridge and entered the gate, you are in the inner courtyard with its arcade, characterised by two medieval towers, known as "delle prigioni", and 18 massive stone pillars. The "palazzo baronale", the most ancient part of the structure, is right in front of the arcade.
Castel Thun, an important historic and architectural heritage, houses valuable furniture, a library with about 10.000 works, beautiful stately rooms, an armoury and numerous majolic stoves. In summer, the marvellous gardens of the castle are a venue for concerts and cultural events.
