A very well-preserved castle, partly inhabited and partly open to visitors, it is definitely worth a stop.

The Castello di Avio, also known as Castello di Sabbionara (in older German texts as "Schloss Aue"), dates back in part to the 11th century and is one of the oldest fortifications in Trentino. It is located above the Vallagarina (German: Lagertal) in the municipality of Avio (district of Sabbionara d'Avio). Since 1977, thanks to a donation from Countess Emanuela di Castelbarco, the castle has been owned by the Fondo Ambiente Italiano (FAI) foundation. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castello_di_Avio A visit is a must! Once you pass through the entrance gate, you'll find yourself before a series of buildings, all surrounding a mighty 11th-century keep. Among these is the Palazzo Baronale with its numerous artistic treasures and the famous Stanza dell'amore, the Chamber of Love. Furthermore, there are five towers to admire here, including the so-called Picadora, from which those hanged once dangled. The entire complex is surrounded by a triple-layered, crenellated castle wall. Current prices, opening hours, etc., can be found here: https://fondoambiente.it/castello-di-avio-eng

The Avio Castle is made up of a large complex that includes the 11th century keep, five towers, the baronial palace and the 13th century walls. It is one of the oldest and most original castles in Trentino, having belonged almost uninterruptedly to the noble Castelbarco family who during the Middle Ages transformed the fortress into a small feudal court, a destination for artists and intellectuals.

The work begins in June 1860 and ends on January 5, 1861. In 1861 and 1863 the castle is structurally approved. The construction work at that time was carried out by the Tomasini company. BUILDING STYLE: In the first generation, i. H. According to the French example: unfortified casemate, the building blocks of which are made of quicklime, worked with a chisel and offer a beautiful sight from the outside. The skilled workers at that time included three stonemasons from Verona. The entire building extends over two open floors with two rows of loopholes one above the other. An example of vertical defence, influenced by the architectural specifications of the New German School, unique among the first generation works in Trentino. TASK: The upper works served partly as accommodation for the troops and partly as a sentry post to monitor the access routes. The lower, smaller work, also intended as a defensive building, functioned as a roadblock with its gateway. ARMAMENTS: In 1861 the upper works were armed with six 10 cm guns, four 12 cm guns and one 15 cm gun. In the lower work, on the other hand, there were two 10 cm cannons. The work was supported by the Sagron battery (1880/81), which was located on the foothills of Monte Baldo, in a dominant position over the actual work, and was demolished in 1900. In 1914 the factory was dismantled and the cannons were positioned on the lake shore in the park of the Hartungen sanatorium.
