The Castle of Castelletto Cervo is also known as "Castello del Guado". It is located in a strategic position and dates back to the 13th century. It was built overlooking the Cervo to monitor the ford and to control the ancient road that rose from the Vercelli area towards eastern Biella.

Not many years ago what remained standing of the Castelletto Cervo manor seemed destined to slowly fall into ruin. The structure which throughout its history had housed the Counts of Canavese, those of San Martino, the Liatta, the Alciati and the Nomis, had long been abandoned.
