Türcke Castle, Medieval castle in Vernazzola, Italy
The castle stands on Cape Santa Chiara, featuring thick stone walls, narrow windows, and architectural elements that combine defensive and residential purposes.
Swiss engineer Giovanni Türcke commissioned the construction of this residence in 1903, selecting architect Gino Coppedè to design the structure in neo-medieval style.
The castle incorporates design elements from Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, demonstrating the integration of traditional Italian architectural influences in early 20th-century buildings.
Visitors can reach the castle through the Albaro district of Genoa, which connects to local beaches and provides access to numerous restaurants.
Following Türcke's death in 1917, W. Homberger purchased and expanded the property's gardens through additional land acquisitions in 1921 and 1925.
