The first historical evidence of Montalenghe dates back to the 12th century, in 1696 the fiefdom was purchased by Marco Francesco dei Balestrieri and in 1733 it passed to the Negri di San Giorgio family who began plans for the construction of a new building with characteristics more suited to the new leisure needs . In 1733 the architect Carlo Giacinto Roero Conte di Guarene accepted the task of expanding the Castle of Montalenghe, the project conceived with strong references to the baroque style of the Castle of Guarene, can be recognized in the design of the facade, in the monumental staircase, in the Hall of Honor with double height, all distributed with elegance on three floors, two dedicated to the noble owners, enriched by halls with stuccos, decorations, fireplaces and valuables and the last floor dedicated to servants. In 1800 Napoleon Bonaparte stayed in the Montalenghe Castle, praised the beauties of the flower garden and gave a short speech in the town square. In 1860 the Castle was purchased by Cavalier Gualberto Gromis of Trana, who had numerous restoration interventions carried out. The sale also includes the Cascina Rossa, a fascinating building with a typical eighteenth-century Piedmontese structure, located inside the property near the access from away, listed by the Superintendency as a valuable historical and architectural asset. The Castle and La Cascina Rossa immersed in the large park form a "unicum" of rare beauty, an uncontaminated oasis of peace, nature and history that is well suited for multiple activities. both for private use and for investment purposes, furthermore the recent redevelopment project already authorized by the Superintendency takes advantage of the possibility of starting work also for the creation of numerous residential units.--91b9413f0fad3a2836e0c7ab6e59dac5!
