Castel Coredo does not have the appearance of a castle: it is an austere-looking noble home which stands alone on top of a hill, hidden from view by conifer trees. The current building dates back to 1726, a date that can be read above the entrance, along with the coat of arms of Sigismondo Nicolò Coreth, who was responsible for the reconstruction of the building in its current form.
The compact four-storey building is still owned by the Counts Coreth zu Coredo und Starkenberg, who were given their title in 1772 by Maria Teresa of Austria.
The interior retains valuable furnishings, hunting trophies and a small collection of paintings consisting largely of portraits of ancestors and members of the House of Habsburg. The paintings cover the walls of a large two-storey reception room, which is overlooked by a clock face whilst the family’s coat of arms is painted on the ceiling.
The castle can only be visited with a guided tour.
A visit to both Castel Coredo and Palazzo Nero takes about 1 hour 30 minutes.
