Serralunga is also a “secret castle”

July 26th and August 23rd: evening visits to Langa manor, opening unpublished spaces usually excluded from the visit.

The castle halls where you’ll be able to hear, thanks to the guide, the fascinating stories of the manor and his defensive systems in the Middle Ages and, in addition, the most personal anecdotes of the owners, the Falletti family. But also the old cellars, the round tower stairs and the square tower interior, on the top of the castle where,  on a clear day, you can have one of the most beautiful and romantic visuals of all the Langa. It’s “The secret castle” revealing itself in Serralunga. The original castle guided tours, planned in environments normally not included in the traditional tourist route, will come back also this year. Spaces usually enclosed, full of history and mystery, rooms that normally doesn’t see the sunlight and, starting from last year, became to be open to the public for their first format visits suggested from Barolo&Castles Foundation with the cooperation of Polo Museale del Piemonte.

A visit, that also becomes adventure, across one of the most charming castles built in this area, considered by many people one of the best preserved examples of fourteenth-century noble building of Piedmont. A so “vertical” manor that, once on top of its summit, it will seem you to touch the sky with a finger while, in front of you, you will enjoy an inexhaustible view, from the UNESCO heritage hills to the alpine archway. For that occasion, each visitor will be equipped with an helmet, to make feel you as explorers.
