Castrum de Zaupolis was built around the year 1000, for the needs of defending the territory from the incursions of the Hungarians. The castle is surrounded by the buildings of the castle village, dating back to the XV-XVII centuries, and by the large park built in the mid-nineteenth century. The main tower, partially rebuilt in 1900, was severed following the 1976 earthquake. The manor belongs to the Panciera family and is home to a farm.

The Castello di Zoppola is a castle originally built in the 11th century and still owned by the Panciera family. It was surrounded by three walls and moats, some of which are still preserved, and over the centuries has housed aristocratic families such as the Habsburgs, the Valvasones, and the Pancieras. The castle is known for its rich history, including its importance as a strategic base and its frescoes by artists such as Pomponio Amalteo and Giovanni da Udine.
