The son was spending some more years in the luxury home of his parents but in 1955 he also left the site. However, during the time of World War Two the count and his wife both died because of old age. Only human mind is able to come up with such an insane idea.Ĭastello Rosso #04 by Broken Window Theory, on Flickr And the best part of the story: The copy is located only around 200 meters of beeline next to the real castle. In order to do this the baron hired a prestigious architect who was nearly able to replicate the original. ![]() Ultimately it was probably his megalomania that gave him the idea simply to clone the palace. So, he wanted the castle at all costs.įresco by Broken Window Theory, on Flickr But she was the daughter of a wealthy foreign businessman and the count was relying on that power and money. The word is that his wife threatened to leave the baron if he didn’t get the castle. Even after a longstanding family dispute he ended up empty-handed. In the late 19th century it turned out that the count who was supposed to inherit the property wasn’t a direct descendent of the castle’s builder. But in the end, this was the reason why the fake castle we are exploring today was built in the first place.Ĭastello Rosso #16 by Broken Window Theory, on Flickr Since the construction the palace was owned by one single family and it was supposed to stay that way. While it was used for military purposes at first, the castle later became an aristocratic residence. Through the centuries the original was reconstructed and extended many times. In medieval Italy a stronghold was built that looks surprisingly similar to this one. The history of this fake castle already begins in the 12th century.

All the furniture had been removed already a long time ago. There's a rather strange story why the look was copied anyway.Ĭastello Rosso #05 by Broken Window Theory, on FlickrĪs you can see the whole building unfortunately is completely empty. At this point the Dark Age had been long gone. However, the manor house was constructed at the beginning of the 20th century. But yes, because of the architecture and the design this derelict mansion was supposed to look like a medieval fortress. Okay, just to be clear about one thing: This isn’t actually a castle from the time of the Middle Ages. Castello Rosso #01 by Broken Window Theory, on Flickr
