The construction of the Castle is linked to the Tizzoni Ghibelline family of Vercelli that, with the permission of the Pope, built the building in the fifteenth century to defend the Benedictine monastery located there as well as the local population and crops.

The area, besides being in a strategic location, was also economically flourishing: the monks, in fact, reclaimed the marshy lands to turn them into agricultural areas, raised livestock, and built mills, ovens, and ferries on the Po River.

Since the Castle was a noble residence and was never involved in war activities, the structure that exists today is still intact: it has Renaissance features, a protruding section on all sides and, joined to the fortress by a connecting wall is a cylindrical tower
