It looks like a castle straight out of a fairy tale.It is one of the castles of Monferrato with the best preserved external walls.
The castle was built in the early twentieth century.
Unfortunately, today the interior of the castle cannot be visited, but many people go to the village to see the imposing Cereseto castle from the outside and immortalize its beauty in their photographs.

Around 1900, the extremely wealthy entrepreneur, financier, art collector and patron Riccardo Gualino (1879–1964) began building a neo-Romanesque-neo-Gothic castle in a commanding position over the town. The architect of the building was the engineer Vittorio Tornielli. In 1918, the Castello di Cereseto became one of the residences of the Turin family, where lavish parties were celebrated with guests from the Piedmontese business and financial world, from the Agnelli to the Sella. The fort was inhabited by the family until the second half of the 20th century and is therefore well preserved.
