One of the most beautiful castles in the Oltrepo.

In a high-altitude position, on top of a fortress and in a strategic position on the Scuropasso Valley. During the Middle Ages it had a defensive function and control of the traffic towards Emilia. It was built in the first decades of the 13th century.

The building dates back to the beginning of the 13th century. It belonged to the Sannazzaro family, to the Beccaria family from 1406, to Giorgio Aicardi from 1415, later called Visconti Aicardi Scaramuzza. In the eighteenth century it passed to Barbara D'Adda and then to her son Alberico Barbiano di Belgioioso. Under Napoleon, the assets were bought by the Gazzaniga: from these they passed to the Arnaboldi Gazzaniga, then to the Brichetto Arnaboldi.
