Although the castle was built in 1710 and later purchased and transformed into a hunting lodge by King Victor Emmanuel II in 1869, it is not as ancient as other castles in the region. Nonetheless, its interiors are truly remarkable and leave a lasting impression.The Real Castle of Sarre was not the only hunting lodge owned by Victor Emmanuel II. The Castello de La Mandria, a UNESCO heritage site, was constructed in the 17th century for hunting trips in the picturesque Turin moors. Another magnificent palace, the Palazzina di caccia di Stupinigi (TO), was built in the second half of the 18th century. These palaces are highly recommended for their breathtaking beauty.
From early on, Victor Emmanuel II displayed a great passion for hunting. According to his biographies, he often disregarded his tutors' lessons to indulge in this and other interests.
