Castello di Carimate, Medieval castle in Carimate, Italy
The castle features Gothic architecture with a central courtyard, tall brick tower, asymmetrical entrance structures, and an elevated northern terrace facing Lake Como.
Built in 1345 by Luchino I Visconti on a strategic location between Como and Milan, the castle replaced earlier fortifications destroyed during territorial conflicts.
Emperor Maximilian I of Habsburg chose this castle for a seven-day hunting expedition in 1496, marking its status among European nobility.
