Important monumental complex dated back to the 15th century, this noble residence is thought to have been one of the first Venetian settlements in the Veneto hinterland. For about 15 generations (400 years) it was the property of the Venetians “ Cavalli Gritti” and later of the Camuzzoni, creators of the drainage of the surrounding lands.
The buildings (5800smq) create a big cross whose south side was dedicated to the agricultural activities with a wide farm yard where one can see granaries, barns, stables.
The North side is undoubtedly more elegant and noble and the mansion acquires a Neoclassical style on its façade with an important stairway which invites you to step up from the garden to the noble level of the palace. A tower, that dominates the secular park and the surrounding lands, and the outbuildings give proof of an interesting testimony of styles from the Middle Ages to the Venetian style, from the Roman style to the Moresco – Venetian style.
The property of 6 hectares is half dedicated to a beautiful park with secular plants and Italian garden, and half to the agriculture: field and vineyard with a ravishing stream that crosses the park.
