Medieval Castle A Few Minutes From Milan

Description

In the heart of Pavia's picturesque countryside, a short distance from Milan and Pavia, a charming medieval castle, dating back to 1122, is for sale that preserves its historical and architectural prestige intact. Situated in a picturesque historic village, the castle enjoys a strategic location that makes it perfect for cultural and naturalistic explorations in an area rich in artistic and scenic beauty. Prominent among these is the Certosa di Pavia, an extraordinary monumental complex that includes a monastery and a sanctuary, overlooking the banks of the characteristic Pavia Canal.

Early documentary evidence of this castle links it to the illustrious Landriani and Mantegazza families, among the oldest and noblest in Milan. Over the centuries, the mansion has maintained its prestige, remaining linked to the names of the Lombard nobility until the present day. Since the 1960s, thanks to careful restoration work, the owners have been able to restore the structure to all its original charm.

The imposing complex, which covers an area of 2,600 square meters, is organized around an inner courtyard, dominated by a majestic tower with a ribbed vault decorated with heraldic paintings. The interiors are embellished by large rooms with monumental period fireplaces, evoking a glorious past, and an imposing 17th-century staircase that is one of the castle's main scenic elements.

Adding to the enchantment, the castle is surrounded by a 1.4-hectare park full of centuries-old magnolia trees and graced by a romantic water lily pond, creating a fairy-tale atmosphere that frames this extraordinary historic home. A unique opportunity to live immersed in history, just a few steps from the modernity of Milan.
