Semi-detached House in Medieval Castrum in San Pietro in Casale

A unique terraced house is offered for sale, an integral part of the ancient complex of the Episcopal Palace, completely renovated in the 1990s and located in the northeast wing of the former fortification, recognizable by its six characteristic corner windows distributed over two levels. From the eastern gate of the former Castrum, you enter an elegant hallway that divides the house into two wings: on the right is a spacious kitchen with a dining area and a relaxation area, while on the left there is a large living room with a fireplace. At the back of the house are the services and the cellar. A refined staircase leads to the first floor, where there are three large bedrooms and a second bathroom. On the second floor, there is a large attic with considerable heights, these large clearance rooms are ideal for creating a study area or additional bedrooms. Climbing further, through a small staircase that retains the charm of an ancient passage, you reach the turret or panoramic belvedere. At the entrance, there is a pleasant fenced garden of about 90 square meters, while at the back, in the ancient internal courtyard of the Episcopal Palace, there is an additional courtyard area of about 48 square meters. Moreover, with a separate price, there is available a plot of land of about 1,300 square meters located a few meters from the house. Numerous historical documents attest to the existence of an ancient "Castrum" or Castle, represented and described in great detail: mention is made, for example, of "a strong castle with a fortress suited to withstand the greatest efforts of a besieging army." From these sources, it is inferred that the portion for sale is precisely the one surmounted by the splendid belvedere, from which even today you can admire the vast panorama of the estates that once belonged first to the bishop and, subsequently, to the Royal House of Sweden. Another significant historical passage concerns the transformation of the site from the seat of a Principality to the seat of a Duchy: after Napoleon's passage, the estate including the Episcopal Palace - already a fortified Castrum - was elevated to the "Imperial Duchy of Galliera," becoming the dowry of the Emperor's niece and, through marital ties, to the Swedish Royal Court. Today, the noble title of the Duchy of Galliera is held by the House of Orléans. (This information and floor plans are merely indicative and do not constitute contractual elements).
