The charm of a medieval castle with more than ten centuries of history and the magic of countless candles illuminating the last long night of 2025, awaiting the first dawn of 2026.
For an alternative New Year’s Eve, in an unprecedented mélange of enchantment and inspiration, History and Culture, the Castello di Contignaco offers its guests a truly special welcome, with dozens of candles illuminating its interior rooms, amid shadows and lights in an atmosphere suspended in a dreamlike limbo.
First, a guide will accompany visitors on a tour of the Castle’s interior rooms and their thousand-year history, from the Pallavicino family to the present day. Then, there will be a cultural and recreational activity that will allow guests to have fun solving medieval cryptography puzzles. And there will also be a culinary and wine-tasting experience, during which guests can delight their palates with a tasting of wines produced in the Castle’s cellars.
