About this stone

This romantic castle has stood since the 12th century and represents one of Europe's most enchanting examples of Gothic and Renaissance architecture. The grounds are surrounded by a dreamy park dotted with centuries-old lime trees, creating an atmosphere where history and legend seem to blend together. The castle has become known for hosting the International Festival of Ghosts and Spirits, which draws visitors drawn to its mix of historical significance and mysterious traditions. It's also gained fame beyond its walls—the castle appeared in several films, including the celebrated 1950s fairy tale Fantaghiro, cementing its place in popular imagination as a place where magic feels possible.
