Castello di Vincigliata

Castello di Vincigliata

Vincigliata Castle (Castello di Vincigliata) is a medieval castle which stands on a rocky hill  in Tuscany. It was once the ancient stronghold of the Visdomini family, important Florentine nobility since the 11th-century.  In the mid-nineteenth century the building, which had fallen into a ruinous state, was acquired by the Englishman John Temple-Leader and entirely reconstructed in the feudal style. He fell in love with it and decided to restore it to its former glory. Over 15 years, it was reconstructed in the neo-gothic style from the ground up and became a romantic vision of a feudal fortress. He also created the Bosco di Vincigliata, planting cypresses in the rocky areas where nothing else would grow, with pines and all the various shrubs and bushes one finds in a typical central Italian woodland. The castle is not open to the public, it is private property and open only on request.
