Castello di Frascarolo, Medieval castle in Induno Olona, Italy.
The Castello di Frascarolo features an original western tower and includes a formal Italian garden with terraces and decorated fountains across multiple levels.
The castle started as a 12th-century fortification used by Milan's archbishop Oberto da Pirovano before becoming property of the Abbey of San Gemolo until the 16th century.
The Medici family transformed the military structure into a residential complex, adding architectural elements inspired by the style of Giulio Romano during renovations.
Located 1 kilometer from central Induno Olona, the castle requires specific permissions for visits and maintains private ownership under the Medici family.
Composer Gaetano Donizetti spent time at the castle in 1837, followed by writer Gian Battista Bazzoni during their respective creative periods.
