The Visconti Castle of San Vito in Massino Visconti stands at the entrance to the town. It was born as a convent of the monks of St. Gallen during the first decades of the year 1000. Only later, around 1139, was the structure transformed by the Visconti family into an elegant country residence.

Today's construction is the result of a series of considerable sixteenth-century reconstructions: now it looks like a three-storey building with a single tower. In the structure you can see a small balcony near the courtyard facing the town: from here the Visconti spoke to the villagers. In 1863, Alberto Visconti sold the castle to Pietro Pallestrini, mayor of Massino, scholar and author of a Report on the agricultural-industrial-artistic exhibition of Lake Maggiore who restored it and subsequently passed it on to the Visconti di San Vito, still owners with the Marchesa Ludovica Visconti
