CastelBrando

CastelBrando is one of the largest and oldest castles in Europe.

Overlooking the hills of Prosecco, recently UNESCO World Heritage, it is halfway between Venice and the Dolomites,  between two of  the most beautiful villages in Italy:  Cison di Valmarino and Follina.

The roots of CastelBrando date back 2000 years and represent an open page on the history of this territory and people, leaders and famous people, who made heroic deeds.

The first castrum was built during the Roman era, as a defense and control structure of the Imperial Via Claudia Augusta; then became the home of the Da Camino family, Marin Faliero, Brandolini IV and Erasmo da Narni, also know Gattamelata.

In the sixteenth century, under the Brandolini family, who more than others marked the history and character of the estate, the castle was extended in its central part with a Sansovinian touch, acquiring a Venetian elegance

The latest to be built is the eighteenth-century horseshoe-shaped structure designed by Ottavio Scotti of Treviso, an imposing and linear structure, of rigorous classicism.

In 1997 CastelBrando was bought and completely restored by private company, which brought back to it the charm of its glorious days.
