Kastelbell Castle, Medieval fortress in Venosta Valley, Italy
The stone castle stands on a giant boulder overlooking the Adige River, featuring fortified walls and a rectangular chapel on the eastern side.
First documented in 1238, the Lords of Montalban constructed the fortress, which later transferred to the Hendl family in 1531 through regional administration.
The castle displays Roman frescoes, including a preserved St Christopher painting on the outer wall, and functions as the village cultural center.
Visitors can explore the castle from April through October, with guided tours available Tuesday to Saturday from 2 PM to 6 PM.
The castle's smoke-blackened kitchen remains intact, providing evidence of the devastating fires that occurred in 1813 and 1824.
