The castle was originally built around a large square tower in the 11th century, and it formed part of a medieval fortified settlement enclosed by walls.[1][2]
In 1666, Marquis Carlo Renato Della Chiesa initiated major transformations, expanding the structure to turn it into a noble residence and demolishing the houses of the settlement to create gardens.[1][2]
In the 19th century, Marquis Ludovico Della Chiesa restored the castle in a neo-Gothic style, reinstating its fortified appearance with battlements and a new entrance.[1][2] After World War II, the castle suffered damage and underwent multiple changes in use, serving as a restaurant, a medical-educational institute, and eventually being divided into apartments in 1968.[1][2]
