The ruins of Norantola Castle lie on a small hill in the middle of the forest, north of the hamlet of Norantola, on the left side of the Moesa, where the “strada francesca”, the valley road, used to be. The fortress was cited as one of the barons of Sax in 1324, passed to Trivulzio in 1480, and was set on fire and destroyed in 1483 by an armed attack. Archaeological studies show that the ring wall was built in two clearly separated phases. The original building dates from the 13th century and was probably built at the behest of local nobles. What remains are parts of the irregular ring wall with the entrance gate, as well as the remains of a residential tower and a residential track at the east end of the courtyard. The crumbled masonry was secured in 1950 and 1989-1996. After the fortress of Mesocco, this castle complex is the most important in Misox.
