Alatri. Grange of Tecchiena

The Grange of Tecchiena is located on the slopes of the Monticchio hill where originally was a fortress of the eleventh century.

In 1245, Pope Innocent IV, to quell the rivalry between Alatri and Ferentino decided to remove all fortress rights and bring them into property of the church and, in 1395, it was given to the Carthusians of Trisulti.

The monks founded a real farm in the second half of the eighteenth century it was transformed into the complex of the Grange (barn) and was in operation until the early twentieth century.

The structure has an eighteenth-century style and has more structures nearby where you can still see some ruins of the old castle. It is private property.
