Elegant 17 Th Century Castle With A 2 Ha Park Mercenasco (Turin)
This elegant Castle, nestled among the rolling hills of Canavese, just 2 km from the picturesque Lake of Candia, is a captivating residence steeped in rich history. Inside the castle, the various rooms are elegantly furnished and adorned with period frescoes, wooden and mosaic floors, antique furniture, crystal chandeliers, and chairs upholstered in fine fabrics.
The residence, spanning an internal area of 2,500 square meters spread over three floors, features a grand reception hall, a majestic living room with a billiard table, a library, a dining room, a kitchen, two bedrooms, and bathrooms. Each room is characterized by sumptuous ancient fireplaces and Baroque finishes, with large windows overlooking the beautiful surrounding park. A luxurious marble staircase leads to the second floor, where three apartments and a chapel are located, accessible through a charming arched corridor. The main tower offers spacious bedrooms, bathrooms, and a magnificent panoramic terrace on the roof. The basement houses an armory, an event kitchen, and a cellar.
Outside, the castle is surrounded by a magnificent park with a variety of plants and trees. Historically, the castle belonged to the Valperga di Massino counts until the 16th century, then to the Graneris de la Roche marquises until the 18th century, when it passed to the Compans di Brichanteau Challant marquises, related to the royal Savoy family. In the 20th century, the architect Jean Chevalley was commissioned to restore this charming residence.
