Autentica Dimora Storica Tra Le Mura Del Castello

An authentic historic residence within the castle walls.

Inside the ancient walls of the Castellazzo Novarese castle stands the majestic Historic Palace ”Il Vescovado,” named because it was the summer residence of the bishops in the 1600s. A place steeped in charm and history, it still preserves its noble spirit and period elegance.

The large property is divided into two independent apartments and enriched by additional historic spaces of great architectural value.

The first apartment—elegantly restored and recently renovated—covers about 350 sqm. It welcomes visitors with an impressive pink granite staircase featuring the original railing and a stone balcony on the second floor.

Inside, notable features include terracotta and parquet floors, decorated ceilings, and a magnificent 18th-century fresco on the ceiling, bearing witness to its history. It has three bathrooms and a modern underfloor heating system, blending contemporary comfort with antique charm.

The second apartment, about 250 sqm and ready for customization, is currently under renovation with an approved project and paid fees. This is a unique opportunity to complete it according to personal taste while enhancing its original architecture. Here, too, there is a second frescoed staircase, already restored, leading to a large living area with a spacious kitchen and dining room on the ground floor, and three bedrooms upstairs, one featuring an 18th-century ceiling fresco.

The residence also includes three bathrooms, functionally distributed.

The property continues with over 700 sqm of historic spaces used as storage, characterized by coffered ceilings and original terracotta floors. These areas require restoration work but offer enormous potential for those wishing to expand the space or create new residential or hospitality solutions.

Above the entire complex extends an original attic with beautiful trusses and a height exceeding 4 meters, ideal for further architectural development.

The roof has been completely renovated recently, ensuring solidity and preservation.

Within the property is a courtyard of about 400 sqm, enhanced by two porticos: one enclosed, used as a garage, and one open, perfect for outdoor relaxation.

In front of the palace lies a 4,000 sqm garden, planted and well-maintained, featuring two small period porticos (former chicken coops) and a charming stone fountain about 7 meters long.

A protected and enhanced asset

The ”Il Vescovado” Palace is under the protection of the Superintendence of Fine Arts, which has already approved the renovation project for the second apartment, ensuring full respect for the property’s historical and architectural value.

A unique place where history, art, and comfort harmoniously blend—ideal for those dreaming of living in or creating an exclusive project in a timeless historic residence.
