Noarna di Nogaredo, Italy

The ancient Castel Noarna served as a setting for witch trials.

Located at Noarna di Nogaredo, the Castle overlooks Vallagarina valley since the 11th century and probably used to be a former Roman fort. The 13th century keep consists of the main tower, topped by Guelph embattlements, two guardrooms and the prison. Rounded arches testify to the building's Medieval origins. In this castle a notorious witch trial was held, involving dozens of people from Vallagarina, which ended with five death sentences to as many local women. Today, it houses a renowned wine cellar boasting about 35,000 bottles.
In 1177 the Castle was damaged during violent fighting and later on became the property of the Castelbarco family. In 1486 it passed to the Lodron family and developed its current look, as it got transformed into an aristocratic mansion. After 1876 the Lodrons moved out and started using the castle only as a summer residence. The castle was eventually abandoned towards the end of the 19th century.
