Majestic 16th-century fortress
In a charming high position of Carso area, there is this old castle for sale. Surrounded by a vast forest, this prestigious property includes a recently-renovated castle measuring 1,850 sqm, to be customized, and the ruins of its former buildings. Today this property with a centuries-old history is ideal as a high-end home, as a center for cultural and artistic events or even as a luxury hotel, with an approved project that envisages the construction of 18 rooms, potentially expandable up to 40, using the buildings to be restored. This 16th-century castle is protected by defensive walls and a moat; its 4 towers were all built in different times, while the roofs date back to the 18th century. Most of the original construction and decorative details were reconstructed during restoration works on the basis of historical photographs. Next to the south-east tower we can still see the ruins of the old buildings that were used as stables, warehouses and cellars. Attached to the north-east tower, there is also a housing structure for the caretaker. Another building was recently built for residential use. The 2.5-hectare botanical garden dates back to the early 1900s and offers the perfect green oasis to enjoy. Ref: 6744
