The Castle of Ceresole was the thesite of the historic battle that took place in 1542 during the Italian War between the French and the Imperial forces.
The Roero family acquired the Ceresole fiefdom in 1374.
References to the castle appeared in 1468 with regard to the division of the estate among the various branches of the Roero family, indicating that it had already existed for some time. It was granted to Filippo Roero.
Often referred to as a ‘palazzo’, the Castle suffered significant damage during the clashes following the Battle of Ceresole. At that time, the complex was surrounded by a moat and featured a drawbridge and a ravelin protecting its entrance towards the square.
Significant changes were made to part of the Castle starting in 1649, including the addition of two small wings and a wall with an entrance gate, forming a small internal courtyard. The northern and eastern sides of the building not only reveal its ancient origins, but also show evidence of the various renovations and alterations made throughout its history.
In 1676, the section owned by the Patarinos passed to the Quadro family, who also took possession of the entire estate.
