Castel Thun
A noble castle set among apple orchards in the Non Valley, with the furnishings of the Thun family's home well preserved; in autumn the surroundings are full of red apples.
Castel Thun is one of the most famous noble castles in Trentino. Built in the 13th century and surrounded by walls, a moat, and towers, it preserves centuries of furniture, porcelain, paintings, and wood-paneled rooms belonging to the Counts of Thun, including the "Bishop's Room." It is part of the Buonconsiglio Castle museum system. The Non Valley, where the castle stands, is a major Italian apple-growing region known for the Melinda brand, with flowers in spring and fruit in autumn. Admission costs about €8, and winter opening hours are limited. It is about 40 minutes' drive from Trento and can be combined with the Sanctuary of San Romedio and the Rio Sass Canyon in a day trip to the Non Valley.
