Rumah membeli di Kastil Viscardo Umbria

Il Castello di Madonna Antonia owes its name to the first owner of the castle. It constitutes the original nucleus of aggregation of the village of Castel Viscardo. The first evidence of the castle dates back to the fourteenth century. It was probably built on the ruins of a tower built by the Benedictines in the mid-13th century. From the 16th century it was the fief of the Monaldeschi della Cervara lords who rebuilt it in Renaissance style at the beginning of the 16th century. It then passed in 1636 to the Spada nobles who counted it among their properties until 1921, and then came to the family of the current property, which has lived and maintained the structure from the 1900´s until today. The portion for sale is the south-east wing of the castle and consists of 3 main levels above ground where there are part of the ancient living rooms and attics, the south tower of the castle, and from 3 basement levels where the ancillary rooms (warehouses and cave) are located. This first part develops a total area of ​​1,500 square meters in addition to 105 square meters relating to a beautiful gallery on the first floor and the overlying terrace on the second floor. The beautiful seventeenth-century portal that serves as the main entrance to the structure is part of the property, which in turn includes some rooms on 4 levels for an area of ​​180 square meters. Inside the courtyard of the castle there is also a further annexed building located on 3 levels for a further 240 sqm. The land of the property is composed primarily of the main courtyard and a part of the moat of the castle where it is possible to create the main green areas of the structure, for an area of ​​970 square meters. A parcel of agricultural land of 8,000 square meters is also included in the sale, located a short distance from the buildings and connected to them by a majestic avenue of centuries-old cypress trees on which the right of way (pedestrian) will be guaranteed to serve the castle. Utilities Regarding utilities, the property is equipped with electrical connection, water supply guaranteed by the public aqueduct, oil heating system (disused), telephone line, ADSL coverage. State of repair The property assumed its current form and appearance under the ownership of the Spada family, in particular by Bernardino Spada Veralli, when the castle was restored and embellished with tapestries, paintings and pictures. The castle was defended by a wall, still visible, and by a large moat, of which some traces remain (south-east area, portion for sale). The perimeter walls of the structures are in local stone, while the stone frames, which surround the windows, come from Bagnoregio. Two cylindrical towers, divided into three bands by two string courses, delimit the south-east perimeter. Access was and still is guaranteed today by a bridge connected to the elegant seventeenth-century Baroque entrance with a striking impact. It consists of a round arch covered in peperino, adorned with lateral niches housing statues. The arch is dominated by a structure connected to the underlying part by two times. This last element of the facade is characterized by an eighteenth-century clock, in turn surmounted by an aedicule containing a small bell. Over the centuries the castle has always been maintained and therefore admirably preserves, even today, its original structures and numerous original salvaged materials present inside the building. Although the property is today in good / fair structural condition, it still deserves a careful conservative restoration that can best preserve and enhance the beauty and history.
