Built on pre-existing medieval structures in 1300, the castle became a fortress at the hands of the Visconti of Milan.
Owned by the Balbi family of Genoa since the 17th century, it was transformed into a residence at the end of the 19th century.
Today it is owned by Count Niccolò Calvi di Bergolo, who opened it to the public since 1972 with its art workshops, guided tours inside the castle and the educational farm.
Among its towers, battlements, moats and stables, the residence hosts events of all kinds: weddings, historical re-enactments, gatherings, concerts, art exhibitions, events for the whole family.
Here you can choose between different tour itineraries, free or guided, and get to know every facet of this incredible place: the 2-hectare organic park, the Museum of Ancient Crafts, the Pavilion of Roots, the Carriage Hall with the ancient stables, the Atelier of Count Niccolò Calvi di Bergolo and the historic cellars.
Among the activities offered are educational workshops for schools but also for designers and artists, horse trekking along the river, e-bike rental, escape rooms and team building, event locations and much more.
