This magnificent castle is just a few kilometers south of Saluzzo. It was built in the 12th century on the foundations of an older fortress and, together with other castles, formed a line of defense along the Alps. It was rebuilt like a castle in the 16th century, but fell into disrepair in the two centuries after 1793, after the last heir died. In 1984 the Fondo Ambiente Italiano took over the restoration of the building. And it was a great success, because the elaborate paintings on the wooden and plastered ceilings can be admired in all their beauty. The frescoes on the walls, ceilings and floors are very impressive and their depth of detail can hardly be grasped. The entrance fee of twelve euros (2021) is fully justified to receive this piece of jewelery.
