The unique history of the castle began in the early Middle Ages, when the Monaldeschi della Cervara family built it as a mighty fortress. Every stone of these majestic towers breathes history - they witnessed the Renaissance splendor of the times of Sforza Monaldeschi, experienced the enthusiasm of the romantic transformations in the 19th century, when Count Edoardo Caen d'Anvers and the architect Giuseppe Partini breathed new life into the castle, turning it into a pearl of the neo-Gothic style.

The second level - piano nobile - is another magnificent gallery, a library with the warm comfort of parquet floors, dining rooms and halls that preserve the sophistication of bygone centuries. Above are the rooms and bedrooms, among which a special place is occupied by a room with a bathroom and a sauna, as if created for gentle rest and recovery.

The building is crowned by five picturesque towers, each of which hides cozy apartments with panoramic views of the hills, forests and skies, where you can forget about everything, remaining alone with the grandeur and romance of the surrounding world.
