Castle History

It dates back to the VII century.

It was donated by Charlemagne to Piacenza's bishop Giuliano II in 808, it was then handed over to several families, among whom Pallavicino, Sforza and Campofregoso.

The fief was at its best under the Anguissola family. With its irregular plan the castle represents one of the most remarkable examples of medieval fortress.

The ghost of Rosania Fulgosio apparently lives in it.

Despite the many centuries that have gone by, the Gropparello Castle has retained all the fascination of a medieval fortress.

Even access is only possible through the two ancient drawbridges.

The sober elegance of its rooms and the soft light entering through the large windows contribute to lend the place a magical atmosphere. It may get freezing cold in the winter, but I believe it is worth the magic.
