Built in the fourteenth century in a strategic location between the town of Vercelli and the Marquisate of Monferrato, it boasts the typical structure of a castle of the plains: quadrangular with cylindrical towers on the sides. It was mainly owned by the Tizzoni family that surrounded it with a park, a fishpond, and beautiful gardens. Today, there is still a trace of the moat that surrounded it and the entire village.

Until 1676, a flourishing mint was active within the walls, which minted authentic and fake coins. In the second half of the nineteenth century, the Castle was rebuilt, maintaining the original plan but changing the elevations.
