The
Castle of Ragogna (VI-XVIII centuries) is located in a magical and isolated place, on a hill that overlooks the the river Tagliamento between Ragogna and Pinzano.
The earliest documents are dated from the 7th century, when Paul Deacon, in his work
"Historia Langobardorum", mentioned the Lombard castles involved in the struggle between the Avars and the Lombards in 610.
The following documents about the castle of
Ragogna are dated back at the 12th century, at the time of its vassals, the Eppesteins, Dukes of Carinthia.
The castle has been restored and, nowadays, hosts various
events. Visitors can admire the city walls, which originally surrounded the entire hill; some towers and the reconstructed residential domus.
