About the Property

A unique historic medieval castle, originally built in the 12th century, located in the municipality of Dello, province of Brescia, Lombardy. This remarkable property spans approximately 1,600 square meters and is set within a garden of approximately 1,300 square meters. The castle, with its rich cultural and social history, served as a significant defensive structure for the surrounding town and is less than 20 minutes by car from Brescia, the provincial capital. The castle's architecture reflects its medieval origins, featuring a large paved courtyard that connects three distinct structures: the guardhouse, the castle itself, and the stables. The castle is arranged over three floors, with the ground floor accommodating a restaurant area, while the upper levels contain various living spaces, including multiple bedrooms and a kitchen. The attic offers additional potential for habitable rooms, enhancing the castle's versatility. The guardhouse, approximately 90 square meters, was historically used to house custodians and is designed in harmony with the castle's style. It consists of three floors, including a studio flat on the mezzanine and another on the first floor. The stable, also spread over three floors, retains its historical function of housing horses and animals, with similar studio flats on the upper levels. The castle's fascinating history includes its role as a meeting place for noble families during the Renaissance. Significant renovations and consolidations were undertaken at the end of the 19th century, preserving the medieval brick walls and windows while adapting the interior for modern use.
