The current Terzi Castle has very ancient origins, dating back to the Early Middle Ages. It was originally a fortified Benedictine monastery, destroyed by Charlemagne's Frankish army in the 8th century. Rebuilt as a castle in the 9th/10th century, it belonged to the Mozzo family and then to the Suardo family, who extended their dominion over the entire valley, also owners of the Bianzano Castle. In the 15th century, following the imposition by the Venetian Republic of the demolition of every stronghold present in the territory of the Serenissima, the Suardo family, in order to avoid its destruction, made it a stately home. Finally, the property passed to the Terzi family, who sold it in 1930, by then completely abandoned and in ruins, to the British countess Winifred Terni de Gregory. From 1937 to 1945, she renovated the property as it appears today, including the gardens. Currently the entire complex is temporarily rented for important events or weddings.

Trebecco Castle

13th century castle of the Suardo Counts. Every year, in August, there is a historical reenactment: "In 1367, Giovanni di Baldino Suardo and Bernarda Visconti, daughter of Bernabò, Lord of Milan, recently married, arrived in the village of Bianzano where the Castle that their father Baldino had given them stood. The people of Bianzano welcomed the couple with great celebrations, frescoing the atrium and entrance portal of the Castle in their honor. The Bianzano branch of the Suardo family was born, and is still alive today. The reenactment, therefore, stages the arrival of Giovanni Suardo and Bianca Visconti at the Castle and the celebrations that ensued."

The Castle with a square plan and a central courtyard was enlarged in volume and enriched with porticoes and loggias. Protected by two circles of walls raised compared to the original ones, it was surrounded by a second moat with access from the south and north via drawbridges. The entire complex thus became an inaccessible citadel, where brilliant court life was entertained, a destination for artists and illustrious guests. Much of the decorative and pictorial apparatus also dates back to the works commissioned by Colleoni, with a prevalence of frescoes in the French style, because the leader loved to surround himself with painters from Burgundy, linked to international Gothic.
