It dates back to the XII - XIII century and belonged to the Guidi Counts (in 1371). In the fifteenth century it fell under the influence of the Florentines, from this moment its decline began.
Cardiane Anglico describes the castle as follows in 1371: 'It is on the Alpe on a high insepugnable mountain. It has a fortress and a very strong tower. There is another one-shot crossbow tower called the Oak. The main road that leads from Galeata to Tuscany passes here in the middle (...) '.
The structures currently visible are the walls (partially hidden by vegetation) with the mighty arched entrance door in sandstone blocks and part of the central keep.
Below the castle you can see the road 'that led from Galeata to Tuscany' with retaining walls.
