Grazzano Visconti Castle, Medieval fortress in Vigolzone, Italy

The stone castle features multiple towers, defensive walls, and decorative elements that combine medieval military architecture with neo-gothic refinements.

Giovanni Anguissola constructed the fortress in 1395 following his marriage to Beatrice Visconti, sister of the Duke of Milan Gian Galeazzo.

The castle hosts regular historical reenactments that demonstrate medieval combat techniques, traditional crafts, and period music performances throughout the year.

Visitors can explore the castle grounds and gardens from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages.

The castle maintains its original family ownership since 1883, when Guido Visconti di Modrone inherited the property from his aunt Fanny Visconti.
