4.5 based on 396 reviews
Splendid eighteenth-century aristocratic mansion, museum of art and costume, the Castle of Chignolo Po, called "the Versailles of Lombardy", contains important and valuable evidence of the lavish world of the nobility of Lombardy and Venice.The spectacular baroque courtyard, large frescoed halls of the Tiepolo's school, the refinement of the stucco and decorations, the tower with its dominant male turreted mole, all immersed in a sweet rural scenery make this monument one of the most important historic houses Italian.

I live very near this castle (situated just south of Milan) and am so glad we decided to take my dad, who was visiting from London, for a guided tour for Father's day. The castle exterior is truly breathtaking and the interior is largely left in the original state which is very well preserved. Our guide, Jessica, was full of detailed information, friendly, and made us feel very welcome. I was told it is possible to have a tour conducted in English if you request a booking in advance. There is an amazing rediscovered wine cellar and the kitchen is full of original features and utensils. It was like stepping back in time. The ceilings throughout the castle are beautiful and have interesting 3D paintings. Each room has original furniture and features. It is not possible to view the entire interior as it is still inhabited, but the parts that are open to the public are definitely worth a visit if you like historic buildings. It is within easy reach of Milan by car. We kept our tickets which can be used again to revisit the castle within a year - we bought 4 tickets but unfortunately, my sister was unable to come. I trust they will allow her to come when we reuse our tickets for a second visit later this year as we definitely want to return. We were informed that they also have scheduled music and medieval evenings which sound fascinating and we can't wait to explore this castle further. It is even possible to have your wedding reception in this fabulous castle! I highly recommend a short trip out to this important and captivating castle if you are visiting Milan!!
