Castel d'Enna (Enn)
Castel d'Enna, also known as Enn Castle, is perched on a hill above the municipality of Montan in South Tyrol. This historic castle is a prominent structure with a long history of ownership changes and architectural transformations.
History+
The castle's origins date back to the 12th century, when it was built by the von Enn family. Over the centuries, the estate changed hands multiple times until it was sold in 1648 to the Venetian patrician Pietro Zenobio. The castle underwent significant renovations and restorations in the 16th and 19th centuries, which shaped its current appearance.
Location+
Castel d'Enna is situated at an elevation of approximately 578 meters above sea level in the municipality of Montan, in the district of Bolzano, within the Trentino-Alto Adige region, Italy.
On site+
The castle remains in the private possession of Pietro Zenobio's descendants to this day and is therefore not accessible to the public. Only once a year, the Montan music band offered a concert on the castle grounds in August, which was the sole opportunity for visitors to experience the complex.
