The castello was built in the first half of the 13th century and was the residence of the Milanese Noble family de'Ghiriglioni. The small fortress originally encompassed an area of 41 x 54 metres enclosed by a wall with 4 guard towers at each corner. The south-eastern wall bordered directly on the lake and had its own jetty. Moats around the three remaining walls offered further protection from potential aggressors. After 400 years the de'Ghiriglioni family returned to Milan in the 17th century. While the Western area of the castle was almost completely destroyed over the centuries, the Eastern part remains and ist today the Hotel Castello Seeschloss. You can stay in the south-eastern tower.
