How to reach Cornedo Castle
At the entrance of the Ega valley, east of Bolzano, the castle looks out onto the Bolzano basin. The Cornedo castle was probably built in the 13th century by the Greifensteiner aristocrats.
Stairways ascend the castle façade while Romanesque frescoes adorn the chapel. The castle, majestic and exalted with its gate towers, watches over the gorge of the Val d’Ega. This, the emblem of the municipality was built by the Lords of Greifenstein around the year 1200 and today represents one of South Tyrol’s finest castles.
