Renaissance style palace built between 1480 and 1517 to replace a smaller building used as a defensive fortress. It was built to a design by the architect Baccio Pontelli and overlooks what is now Piazza Rey.

From 1775 the production of majolica and porcelain began in Vinovo, to which the premises of the castle and its surroundings were destined. The Royal Porcelain Factory was initially directed by Brodel from Turin, who was replaced in 1780 by another Turin doctor, the doctor and chemist Vittorio Amedeo Gioanetti, who worked under the commission of the Savoy family: this was the period of the gold of porcelain vinovese, until 1800 when, with the arrival of the French, the manufacturing declined. After Gioanetti's death, Giovanni Stoppini's attempt to continue its business failed, the castle was sold in 1825 to the University of Turin, which in 1836 sold it in turn to the municipality of Turin, from which in 1839 it was bought by the brothers Giacomo and Luigi Rey, who set up a carpet factory there.

14th century castle, freshly restored. It is located in the center of Vinovo, so in addition to visiting the castle there is the possibility of a pleasant stroll in the historic center of Vinovo. Behind the castle, a beautiful park with a playground.
