It stands near Castel Thun and shares its date of birth with the castle: it was presumably built in 1422, the year in which Castel Thun was rebuilt.

Its history is a back and forth between abandonment and restoration. In 1579 it was in a state of abandonment and had to be restored; it was reconsecrated in 1619, but in 1710 it was found to be neglected again. It was repaired once more by 1742, and accounts from the early twentieth century find it in a serious state of decay.

The last restoration dates from 1963-64 and was carried out at the wish of Count Zdenko Thun, the last of the family to live in the castle, where he lived until his death in 1982: five centuries after its construction, it was put back in order by the same house that had built it.

Today in the valleys

Just a moment...

Gipthe bearded vulture of Valli del Noce

Hi, I am Gip. I am a bearded vulture: my species had vanished from the Alps in the 1930s, and the first one born in Trentino in at least a hundred and fifty years took flight from Val di Rabbi this past 16 July.

Ask me about places, the valleys or the people who work here. I answer with what is in our pages: if I do not know something, I will tell you.
