SECOND POSITION
This luxurious castle dates from the eleventh century and is located in the beautiful Monferrato hills. The castle is divided into the main property and continues to the entire property in a north-south direction divided into two separate spaces that constitute the park. The south part of the park has its origins from the Castle’s ancient parade ground finishing with the guard’s walkway. This has been protected from the original defensive wall with battlements with openings and slits and massive stone ramparts about 20 metres in height. There is an extraordinary view of the entire town and the Erro valley below.
The total area of the complex includes 6000sqm of park and 2,600sqm of building, distributed in a diverse range of buildings of different heights between 2 and 4 floors, including attics and basements.
The building dates back to the sixteenth century on the site of an earlier medieval fortified house. The central tower, which forms part of the main entrance, has arched and mullioned windows and a crown of suspended decorated brick arches. The castle has a particular and splendid location which would be ideal for a tourist accommodation business but also perfect as a beautiful residence, as an excellent example of its type.
