Castel Valer is a medieval castle in the vicinity of the village of Tassullo in the Val di Non, at the feet of the impressive Brenta Dolomites. Various archaeologic findings vouch for the Roman origins of the two medieval manors surrounding the 40 metres high octagonal granite tower, which is the highest of its kind in Trentino.
Some of the castle's 100 rooms are richly decorated, such as the "salone degli Stemmi" (room of the coats of arms) and the stanze Madruzziane. The curtain walls share the octagonal shape of the main tower and enclose the Castel di sotto dating back to the 14th century, and thus the most ancient building, and the Castel di sopra from the 16th century.
The monument also houses a chapel dedicated to San Valerio, embellished with a fresco cycle by the brothers Baschenis.
Before being acquired by the Province of Trento (Provincia di Trento), the castle was in the hands of the well-known family Spaur from 1368 to 2022.
