Villa Fürstemberg, Venetian villa in Marocco, Italy

Villa Fürstenberg stands on the left side of the Terraglio coming from Mestre, in the Marocco locality. The main house rises three floors around a central hall that runs through the building, with a tree-lined avenue leading in from the road. Its east front has an architraved portal, a balcony with an iron railing above, and a moulded pediment bearing the Fürstenberg coat of arms.

A 1573 map records a house and courtyard here owned by Alvise Foscarini's son Andrea, who rented it to Agnolo Berton. By 1631, under the Marin family, it comprised a dovecote, manor house and barchessa in an L-shape. The current appearance dates from between the late 18th and early 19th century, when the Carreggiani owned it; the Fürstenbergs acquired it in 1935.

The sculpture park on the grounds displays permanent art pieces from different artists, which visitors have been able to explore since April 2024. This collection creates a space where contemporary art meets the historical setting of the residence.

The building currently serves as the headquarters of Banca Ifis and offers scheduled visits arranged through the Grandi Giardini Italiani organization. Plan your visit in advance to gain access to both the interior spaces and the surrounding grounds.

The chapel on the estate was renamed from San Nicolò to Santa Teresa d'Avila during its restoration in 1841. This change reflects an important shift in the religious character of the site.
