Short but challenging climb

Castello Consortile di Buronzo is a rare example of a complex of fortified houses and towers that stands in the heart of the Baraggia.

Village that was once defended by walls and a tower, to protect from enemy attacks. Today we can see some houses, the remains of these walls, and a beautiful view of Lake Viverone

Situated on the top of a hill in the Serra, the castle has its origins in a tower from the tenth century, around which the imposing complex developed, which closes on three sides a trapezoidal courtyard. From the courtyard you can enjoy a beautiful view of Lake Viverone and the Canavese lakes. The portico dates back to the time of the Bicchieri domination, as evidenced by the noble coat of arms in the upper part; Inside, where the Enoteca Regionale della Serra and a restaurant are located, fifteenth-century coffered ceilings and nineteenth-century decorations testify to the various transformations undergone in different periods by the building around the manor house, along the slopes of the hill there was a ricetto, of which very few traces remain.

Consortium or lordly castle built together with other fortifications in the surrounding area by the Buronzo family from which the municipality in which it stands takes its name. The first documents appear in the records of the learner Corrado II around the year one thousand

The origins of the castle of Castellengo date back to the 10th century. After the owner family, the Frichignono, became extinct in 1883, the castle underwent a gradual abandonment, changing ownership several times. In 1990 the current owners began a careful conservative restoration which is still in progress. Today it is possible to stay overnight inside the castle, which has been transformed into a luxury B&B.
