The Magical Christmas Village at the Royal Castle of Govone

An event spread across the lands of Langhe, Monferrato, and Roero to experience the magic of Christmas

From 16 November to 22 December 2024, immerse yourself in the festive atmosphere in Asti, Govone, and San Damiano d’Asti, united in an enchanting itinerary of tradition, art, and magic.

Piazza Alfieri in Asti will host a charming Christmas market with 130 wooden chalets, offering artisanal products, typical gastronomy, and delicious street food to savor local traditions. In San Damiano d’Asti, the Living Nativity Scene will revive ancient crafts, featuring costumed figures and the evocative sounds of bagpipers in the historic cellars of the village.

At the Royal Castle of Govone, the full magic of Christmas will shine. Surrounded by a romantic enchanted village, the town will transform into a fairy-tale snow globe, welcoming elves, shows, and attractions for all ages. Discover the new musical at Santa Claus’s House, and for the little ones, the Elf School, where they can become Santa’s perfect helpers!

During your visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Castle, explore the noble halls specially decorated with Christmas scenes. The “Christmas at the Royal Castle” exhibition will be open on Saturdays and Sundays, from 16 November to 22 December, from 10:00 to 18:45, lasting approximately 25 minutes. All details on dates, times, and tickets are available exclusively on the official website: www.magicopaesedinatale.com.

Special Inauguration: On Saturday, 16 November, the last entry for the exhibition will be at 16:30, allowing everyone to enjoy the evening’s inaugural show. We look forward to sharing the magic of Christmas with you!

ESPLORA

SCOPRI IL PERCORSO VISITA

Attraversa il tempo percorrendo le stanze del castello.

Dapprima palazzo nobiliare, poi residenza reale e infine luogo di comunità per tutti i govonesi, il castello taglia e connette i secoli. Visitarlo significa ritrovare le tappe che lo hanno portato ad essere il luogo dal carattere sfaccettato, e quindi unico, che è ora.

DISCOVER GOVONE

THE PARK, THE GARDENS, THE VILLAGE, AND THE HIKING PATHS

Govone extends beyond my walls. It is an entire community that takes care of the magnificent places it inhabits. I invite you to explore everything that surrounds me: the park and the gardens, the greenhouse, the intimate rose garden, the village, and the outdoor trails immersed in nature, which you can explore on foot or by bike.

The park, inhabited by squirrels, woodpeckers, jays, embraces the castle all around with its hedges of boxwood, beech trees, elms, and cypresses.

The gardens gather and showcase Maria Cristina's passion for botany, particularly for roses, displaying various splendid antique varieties.

The historic center extends the visit beyond the castle walls, revealing the authenticity of a village that, while continuing to live, preserves its memory.

The trails lead you along the edges of the constellation of which the castle is the protagonist, through fields, vineyards, and hazelnut groves, allowing you to discover the land.
