The Castello di Barengo stands on a hill behind the town, in an elevated position overlooking the surrounding plain, along the road that originally connected the Via Francigena with the fords on the Sesia river. The original fifteenth-century structure has undergone numerous modifications and alterations over the centuries, and was already partially in ruins at the beginning of the nineteenth century. In 1849, the fortress underwent a restoration that altered its original layout. In the aftermath of the First World War, the property passed to Count Gaudenzio Tornielli di Borgolavezzaro, who commissioned the architect Carlo Nigra to reconstruct the complex according to the stylistic canons of the Middle Ages. Further restorations were subsequently carried out by the Boroli family, the current owners. Despite the reconstructions, however, there remain several testimonies of the original construction, such as the walls of the stands, the foundations and some entrance doors.

It is always a pleasure to cycle along rivers or streams… the silence and the sound of the flowing water alone make the walk worthwhile.
