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.
