The Delizia di Belriguardo was the summer palace of the Este court. Having been built in 1435, it is the first summer residence of a lordship in Europe and has also been called the Versailles of the Este family. The building is home to the Civic Museum of Belriguardo which exhibits archaeological finds from the area, also dedicating Renaissance and modern art sections

Built at the behest of Niccolò d'Este in 1435, it was the first of the famous Este residences to be built outside the walls of Ferrara and always remained the richest and most sumptuous.
...
The castle of Belriguardo was arranged around two courtyards. In front of the majestic entrance tower, beyond the first large courtyard, was the so-called high court, the prince's residence, entirely built on two floors (today we unfortunately only see it at half its original height) with loggias and porticoes everywhere, the walls were plastered and painted with the Este weapons and at the back there were endless gardens marked by perfect geometric rhythms with waterways, fountains, bridges, exotic plants and hedge mazes, to make the stay of the guests and the Court as pleasant as possible Este.
