It seems that the Castle was not built to control a strategic area but to preserve the products of the harvest. There is no evidence today of the original Castle that existed at the end of the twelfth century, while of the visible building there are two historical stages: the first dating back to the thirteenth century; the second dating back to the fifteenth century and represented by a superelevation intervention.

The quadrangular building with a large internal courtyard, a fifteenth-century entrance tower, and, not far away, the ruins of an ancient fortification with a partial cylindrical tower (it seems, in fact, that in the fifteenth century there were three castles) are still visible.
