The Castle of Ceresole was the site 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 fief of Ceresole as early as 1374.
In 1468, in a division among the various branches of the Roero family, the castle was mentioned, indicating that it had already existed for some time and was assigned to Filippo Roero.
The “palace” (as it was called) suffered significant damage during the clashes following the Battle of Ceresole. At that time, the complex was surrounded by a moat and was protected towards the square by a drawbridge and a ravelin.
Starting in 1649, substantial modifications were made to a part of the castle, with the addition of two small wings and a wall with an entrance portal enclosing a small internal courtyard. The northern and eastern sides of the building, in addition to highlighting the oldest components, show the signs of numerous interventions and modifications carried out over time.
In 1676, the Patarino portion passed to the Quadro family, who also acquired the remaining part.
