Castello di Sulbiate, also known as Castello Lampugnani, is a historic castle in the town of Sulbiate, Lombardy.

It was built in 1452 by the wealthy Milanese merchant Paolo Lampugnani, although parts of an even older structure from the 13th century may be incorporated into the building. Designed as a typical lowland castle, it was originally surrounded by a moat and accessed by a drawbridge. The complex features a large tower, two inner courtyards, decorative frescoes, historic halls, and traces of its medieval defensive elements.

Over the centuries, it passed through the hands of the Lampugnani, Arcimboldi, Rocchi, and Cremonesi families. Today, the castle remains one of Sulbiate’s most important historic landmarks. Its well-preserved architecture and long noble history make it a notable example of late medieval heritage in the Brianza area of Lombardy.
