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.

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, 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.

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.
