S. Stefano a Castellazzo Bormida. Of monastic origin, it dates back to the 11th century, both for the presence of a crypt and for the three apses, similar to those of Santa Giustina a Sezzadio. http://archeocarta.org/castellazzo-bormida-al-chiesa-di-santo-stefano/

The castle is owned by Count Cesare Giriodi Panissera di Monastero. The construction of the manor dates back to the second half of the 1300s and acquired value in the following centuries due to its strategic position: the town was in fact located on the borders of the Republic of Genoa, with the Savoy State and the various Lombard duchies.
