The Castle of Strassoldo di Sopra, like the nearby and contemporary Castle di Sotto, is placed in the center of a delightful medieval hamlet, immersed in the peace of a large secular park washed by crystal clear spring-water streams and rivers.

The two castles are among the few that are still inhabited by the same family that built them more than a thousand years ago, that of the counts of Strassoldo and are so-called ‘water castles’ of the green Friulan flatland spring-water area.

The castle still preserves ancient furniture and ancestor portraits and one breathes the atmosphere of a place where history has never been interrupted.
