A dive into the past with a visit to the Padernello Castle to relive the uses and customs of the time and dream in the ballroom

Castello di Padernello - In Borgo San Giacomo, in the province of Brescia, stands the majestic Castle of Padernello, dating back to the 15th century. Padernello is the ancient village of San Giacomo, and the castle is now part of an association dedicated to him that re-evaluates the territory by organizing guided tours, even at night, cultural and musical events and educational events for children.

The castle stands on an area of four thousand square meters for 130 rooms, and is surrounded by a moat with a still functioning drawbridge. It was the Martinengos who built the castle and later the possessions passed to the possessions passed to the Salvadego Molin Ugoni family. In 2002 the municipality decided to buy the building that had collapsed for most of the ballroom, starting the restoration work giving life to the Castello di Padernello Foundation. The Foundation continued its work by organizing events related to the revaluation of the territory also with the presence of illustrious personalities. Today it is possible to visit kitchens, living rooms and the whole structure, admiring the frescoes and works preserved inside, or discovering the many legends related to this place such as that of the White Lady.
