The Castle was first mentioned in a document from 1001. On this occasion, Bishop Sigifredo granted the Benedictine monks of San Savino (Piacenza) some land, including the area of the Castle. The building has a trapezoidal plan and has four circular towers. The first of the four towers dates back to around the year 1000, which only later became four. The Castle was often the scene of clashes and battles. In 1212, the Guelphs of Piacenza took refuge there, threatened by the Ghibellines of Visconti, but they were worsted because they were defeated later in two battles. In the fourteenth century, the Castle was inhabited by Gabriello Boccapiccina, then it passed to the Chiapponi family. When the Chiapponi family died out, in the eighteenth century they were replaced by the Scotti di San Giorgio, who profoundly adapted the building, transforming it into a stately home. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Castle belonged for a short period to the Lombardi of Genoa; it was then sold to Eng. Giuseppe Manfredi, who had it restored by Prof. Camillo Guidotti. From 1930 to 1987, the building was owned by the Ursuline Mothers of Piacenza. Today, the Castle is used by the current owner as a venue for private events.

The Castle of Rezzanello appears mentioned for the first time in a document from 1001. On this occasion Bishop Sigifredo granted some land to the Benedictine monks of San Savino, including the Castle area. The castle has a trapezoidal plan with four towers that stand out from the corners and a large internal courtyard. The turrets have a round base, are elegantly slender and crowned by a projection supported by arches and covered by a conical roof. The same type of arches in double order creates a decorative motif in the attic. To adapt it to housing needs, numerous large windows were opened, regularly distributed on all the facades. Located in the center of a valley, it is surrounded by a splendid seven-hectare park with centuries-old plants, a fountain and streams. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the castle was transformed into a stately home. The new owner, Eng. Giuseppe Manfredi entrusted the intervention to the architect Camillo Guidotti who conducted it according to the late-romantic criteria then in vogue, altering the original design.

The Mill of Riè is a characteristic rural architecture, testimony to the ancient local economic activities. In fact, in the past there were numerous mills along this river, driven by the flow of specially channeled water. The Riè mill along the Perino stream is made up of two distinct blocks. The upstream part was the old mill, dating back to before the 19th century. The downstream structure dates back to the 19th century. The rooms of the plant differed based on their position and use: in the lower part there were the machinery for grinding the grain, while the upper part was used as accommodation for the miller. Today only the machinery of the most recent mill remains of the grinding system. The two stone grinders, the pin, the external wheel and the water drainage channel have been preserved. Furthermore, the pin of the oldest wheel and the seat of the wheel's water tank are visible. The historical, architectural and productive relevance of the plant has recently been recognized. In 2009 the Riè Mill was the subject of a conservative restoration intervention, which affected the stone slab roof covering and the external wheel.
