Castle of Grinzane Cavour, Medieval castle in Grinzane Cavour, Italy.

The castle features a rectangular layout with a central tower, turrets, and thick stone walls overlooking the Langhe vineyards in Piedmont.

Built during the 11th century, the castle became the residence of Count Camillo Benso di Cavour in 1830, who served as mayor and improved local agriculture.

The Langhe Museum within the castle presents exhibits about regional traditions, including tools, domestic settings, and wine-making equipment from past centuries.

The Regional Enoteca, restaurant, and museum remain open throughout the year, offering guided tours and wine tastings with certified sommeliers.

The Sala delle Maschere contains 157 ceiling panels displaying coats of arms, animals, and symbols dating from 1547.
