Castle of Castelpoggio

Fascinating is the Castle of Castelpoggio, in the locality of Poia. It stands at the western entrance to Ponte di Legno. As far back as the 7th century, at the height of the Lombard era, a fortification stood here, but it was dismantled in 1455, following the edict issued by Venice for the destruction of the Camusian fortresses. The ruins were still visible in 1853, but in 1914, during wartime, military structures, trenches and communication trenches were erected. It was Count Giuseppe Zechi de Zan, in 1922, who bought the hillock and had the present manor built. After World War II, the building was divided into 21 mini-apartments, distributed among the main core, the old stables, the butler's house and the chapel.
