The castle of Introd stands on a promontory protected by the rugged gorges of the Savara torrent and the Dora di Rhêmes (the name of Introd, in fact, derives from "entre-eaux", or "between the waters") and probably dates back to the 12th century; like Graines Castle, it originally probably consisted of a square keep surrounded by a wall. After numerous fires and subsequent restoration, today it is open to visits and special events.

The origin of Introd Castle dates back to the 12th century. It was built with a simple structure with a square central keep surrounded by an enclosure. Pierre Sarriod d'Introd enlarged it in 1260, followed by subsequent modifications in the 15th century that completed the castle.
Two fires, the first in the second half of the 19th century and the second in the early 20th century, necessitated restoration work. In the latter case, they were completed by architect Jean Chevalley and commissioned by the then owner, knight Gonnella.
