Our new B&B Guesthouse Corradini is located in Castello di Fiemme, a renowned tourist destination in Trentino, about 3 km from Cavalese.
A bit of history about Castello di Fiemme:
The village has ancient origins: there are traces of prehistoric, protohistoric, and Roman settlements; a late-Roman-antique-barbaric necropolis dating back to the 6th-7th century AD.
The castle, visible from most of the lower and middle valley, was controlled by the Enn-Caldiff, ministers of the counts of Appiano.
In 1296, it was occupied and then set on fire by the valley dwellers who obtained a promise from Henry, Count of Tyrol, that the fortress would not be rebuilt.
From the first half of the 14th century, the county of Castello was added to the Fiemme Community, following an exchange with Levico, Grumes, and Termeno, along with Trodena.
Notable are the characteristic rustic-manorial houses, sturdy with external wooden stairs and the frescoed Madonna on the façade.
The village has a thriving wood industry and wood craftsmanship.
The Church of S. Giorgio:
Built on the hill overlooking the settlement between 1850 and 1856, it was consecrated in 1864 and restored in 1925. It stands in the area of the ancient Eppan castle.
The bell tower dates back to 1907, and the wooden panels of the main portal feature carvings by Tita Pederiva. On the churchyard, there is a funeral plaque from 1694.
The interior of the church has three aisles. The large altarpiece is the work of Carlo Vanzo (1866), who also painted the Stations of the Cross. The two side altars house paintings from the Fiemme school.
The right altar shows the Church of Castello with the old bell tower in the foreground. In the right apse, there is a Last Supper, a copy of M. Unterperger's, and opposite, the Emmaus Supper of 1880.
The marble baptismal font dates back to 1857, and the organ (by the Rieger brothers from Jaegerdorg) to 1900. Also noteworthy is the painting from the Fiemme school on the right of the triumphal arch, depicting St. George and Christ communicating with the apostles, the work of Antonio Longo, in the west end.
The semicircular paintings in the aisles are by Massimo Diodato (1846-1924). The frescoed vaults are by F. Giustiniani (1925). On the left of the triumphal arch, there is a wooden sculpture by Rudy Printh (St. George).
The sacristy and the rectory house numerous paintings or banners by Longo.
