Lombardy | Historic castle with private park and impressive reception rooms In the heart of the Lombardy countryside, between Cremona and Mantua, stands the Castle of San Lorenzo de’ Picenardi, one of the most imposing and scenic historic residences in the area. A property of exceptional size and character, spanning approximately 6,900 square meters and surrounded by a significant historic park, where architecture, gardens, and nature create a uniquely evocative ensemble.
THE CASTLE The origins of the complex date back to the ancient medieval fortified nucleus, subsequently expanded and transformed over the centuries until it assumed its current monumental configuration. The architecture, characterised by crenellated towers, internal courtyards, a moat and imposing façades, still conveys the image of a large Lombard castle residence. Access to the property is via a long avenue that leads towards the complex, gradually introducing you to the monumental dimension of the residence. The presence of the six towers, the courtyards and the fortified architectural elements gives the castle a strong scenic identity, while subsequent interventions have transformed its original defensive characteristics into those of a prestigious noble residence.
THE INTERIORS The interior spaces retain the size and monumentality of a large historic residence. A succession of state rooms, noble quarters, and numerous service rooms and spaces allows one to imagine the property’s ancient life and, at the same time, offers extraordinary flexibility for a contemporary project. The complex also preserves elements and spaces linked to its history, including ancient cellars, stables, mews, and utility rooms, which testify to the original organization of the large estate. Particularly significant is the relationship between the interior rooms and the castle’s courtyards, which create a sequence of intimate and representative spaces, each with its own atmosphere.
THE PARK AND THE GARDENS The castle is surrounded by a large system of historic parkland, Italian gardens, and private courtyards, which complement the property and enhance its character as an exclusive residence. The green spaces offer a succession of perspectives, quiet areas and architectural glimpses, creating a continuous relationship between the castle and the surrounding landscape. The presence of peacocks, which regularly frequent the courtyards and park, further contributes to the timeless atmosphere that characterizes the property.
