This prestigious castle for sale is located near the city of Asti and was originally built around the year 1000.
This historic property which has been totally restored, but still preserves its ancient charm, has been passed on by a number of powerful local families and also by religious orders who for some time, during the 1800s, converted the castle into a convent. The last transfer of property of this historic estate dates back to the '90s and the current owners have taken great care in the maintenance of this wonderful historic abode since.
