Castle of Castrignano, Medieval castle ruins in Langhirano, Italy
The Castle of Castrignano stands on a hill next to the Church of the Annunciation, featuring remaining stone walls and tower foundations.
The castle, first documented in the late 10th century, was built near a Lombard settlement and received imperial recognition from Emperor Henry V in 1137.
The structure represents medieval defensive architecture of the Emilia-Romagna region and maintains its status as an Italian national heritage site.
The castle ruins are accessible through the churchyard of the Annunciation Church, with some parts integrated into the cemetery entrance portal.
Emperor Frederick Barbarossa granted the castle to the Bishop of Parma in 1186 as recognition for attending his son's wedding to Constance of Sicily.
