Castello di Valvasone

The castle has the appearance of a majestic late 16th-century manor house, whose medieval elements have been replaced by Renaissance ones. The manor house can be visited almost entirely, both in the external areas, with the wall, bridge and moat, square with well and stables, and inside, where, exclusively by guided tour, the 3 floors can be explored.

BASEMENT

Here are the Gothic Hall, or the former castle cellar, on whose vaults the date 1468 is inscribed, and the Cavana Hall. The latter was a shelter for boats, which were tied up via two rows of rings that are still visible and allowed the castle’s inhabitants to supply and move by river.

GROUND FLOOR.

This central floor contains the Hall of Frescos, whose splendid and well-preserved pictorial friezes date from successive eras, from the late Gothic to the Renaissance, and a small theater dating from the 18th century.

FIRST FLOOR.

Here you can visit the Kitchen Room with a large hearth and a small balcony from which you can admire the entire Castle Square. Also located there are the Castle Gallery, which houses the private chapel of the Valvasone family, the Noble Hall, with the original 1700s floor in seminato, and the Capricci Hall, so named for the six frescoes belonging to this painting current.
