The castle of Costigliole d'Asti, built in medieval times and subject to restoration over the centuries, is an important stage in the "Castelli Aperti" circuit of Lower Piedmont. In 1041, Arrigo III officially conferred possession on the Church of Asti. Subsequently, the castle passed under the authority of Bonifacio del Vasto. In 1198, it was Asti that took possession of the castle, establishing statutory regulations.
