Lebenberg Castle, Medieval castle in Tscherms, Italy.
Lebenberg is a stone fortress positioned on elevated ground above Tscherms, featuring a three-story chapel, French gardens, and numerous decorated interior rooms. The building combines defensive architecture with residential spaces that developed across centuries.
The fortress was founded in the 13th century by the Lords of Marlengo as a defensive structure in the region. In the 15th century, the von Fuchs family acquired the property and maintained it for several hundred years.
The castle displays Gothic frescoes and a Venetian hall of mirrors with Rococo decorations that reflect the tastes of its wealthy inhabitants. Visitors can observe how artistic styles and refinement evolved across different periods of occupation.
The castle is accessible via Monte Leone Road or a walking path from the village center, though both routes involve some climbing. Comfortable shoes and a flashlight are useful for exploring the stone corridors and interior spaces.
The Hall of Arms holds an extensive collection of military equipment spanning different periods, including weapons and armor. A room dedicated to the Napoleonic era contains an original tiled stove from that time, offering a glimpse into period living conditions.
