The castle, built no earlier than the 13th century with a rectangular structure, was part of the heritage of the lords of Montjovet. Only later, following the marriage between Ebalo the Great and Alexie of Chenal, did it become the property of the Challant family: in this way, the two families could control the passages on the road between Chenal and the castle of Montjovet. Today, the castle, located along the route of the Via Francigena and the Cammino Balteo, is reduced to a ruin.
