Built on a rocky peak overlooking the village below, the castle is mentioned for the first time in 1287 as the property of the De Verretio lords

Verres Castle is a fortress built on the rocky spur overlooking the village below.
The first references to the castle date back to 1287, when it belonged to the De Verretio lords.
It was renovated in 1390 by Ibleto of Challant who gave it its current appearance.
In 1536 René of Challant updated the castle's defenses for modern firearms, adding a city wall, cannons and a drawbridge.
Upon the death of Rene of Challant in 1565 without male heirs, the castle was acquired by the Savoy family.
The castle was abandoned for almost two centuries, until the 19th century when a group of Piedmontese intellectuals passionate about the Middle Ages began its conservation.
Today it can be visited, you can find information here: lovevda.it/it/banca-dati/8/castelli-e-torri/verres/castello-di-verres/864
