Thun Castle

Austere and majestic. Thun Castle overlooks the territory of Val di Non from above.

It is the harmonious union of an elegant manor with extensive gardens and powerful fortifications.

From the Middle Ages to the twentieth century, it was the residence of the ancient and powerful Thun family. Today, with its original furniture and precious art collections, it is a rare example of a furnished noble residence.

EXPLORE THE CASTLE

GARDENS AND ENCIRCLING WALLS

The enclosing walls, witnesses of distant times, narrate stories of battles and periods of peace, protecting the main core of the castle, the County Palace.

These walls, refined over the centuries, now safeguard a green treasure of immeasurable beauty.

The outermost wall, of more recent construction, embraces vast green spaces that extend to the horizon. Here, centuries-old trees stand gracefully, providing cool shade and shelter. Well-tended paths invite visitors to explore the hidden secrets of this corner of paradise.

CARRIAGE GALLERY

In the enchanting heart of the castle, traditionally known as ‘il cantinone,’ there is a timeless treasure: the Carriage Gallery.

This magical space is the guardian of a unique collection belonging to the esteemed Thun family, reviving the splendor and elegance of a bygone era.

Most of the carriages and sleds displayed here date back to the second half of the 19th century. Each vehicle is a living testament to the Thun family’s history, but it goes beyond, revealing the secrets of fashion, taste, and lifestyles of a distant time.

GROUND FLOOR

The heart of the extensive fortification system of the castle resides in the County Palace, a building that has witnessed the evolution of the centuries, transforming from an early 13th-century keep into a sumptuous residence.

This palace, once serving as an impregnable fortress, gradually transformed into a residence, now revealing its charming appearance after a series of masterful interventions in the 18th century.

During this period, the castle underwent significant modifications such as floor regularization to create harmonious spaces, roof finishing and external appearance standardization.

THE NOBLE FLOOR

In the second half of the 18th century, the County Palace underwent a period of significant transformations that definitively shaped its appearance. During this period of renewal, the building went through substantial interventions to acquire unquestionable beauty and functionality.

To create ‘a more comfortable and regular residence,’ an imposing main staircase was built. The rooms, reduced in size and equipped with sophisticated Viennese-style majolica stoves, exude an atmosphere of warmth and refinement.

The noble floor opens with a sumptuous hall, its walls adorned with still lifes, a genre particularly appreciated by the noble Thun family.
