The 18th century Villa Badoer Fattoretto is in the nearby village of Sambruson. Formerly, a summer seat of the Badoer family, during World War Two the Germans transformed it into a military hospital. Bought by its current owners, the Fattorettos at the end of World War One, the villa was subsequently modernized and it is now an elegant and perfectly preserved building. A legend has it that a mysterious treasure was buried in its garden, while inside it host an exhibit of documents about local history and, above all, a very rich 'Arts and Crafts Museum'(called il Museo del Vilano).
