The castle is located in the center of the village, on a hill overlooking the valley below and part of the town. The presence of a castle or "castrum" is mentioned as early as 1191, but the construction of the current fortress appears to date between 1454-1464 and 1489, that is, between the reign of Filippo Borromeo and that of his sons, Giovanni and Vitaliano. It is known with certainty that in 1493 the building and its grounds were inherited by Ludovico Visconti Borromeo. The old square fortress, on the northern side, features the elegant and solid forms of the original fifteenth-century structure, with beautiful pointed-arch windows softened by terracotta decorations. The castle's current appearance is the result of various renovations over the centuries, the most significant dating back to the eighteenth century. The new reconstruction was commissioned by Giulio Visconti Borromeo Arese.

It is a medieval tower that dates back to the 11th century and was part of a fortified system built between the 12th and 13th centuries. The church of S. Giovanni alle Castelle was part of this structure, destroyed in 1950, today replaced by the chapel of the Madonna della Neve, built by the Alpine Section of Gattinara.

Getting to the Castelle towers is easy but at the same time you have to prepare for a nice climb which is paved so it is also possible to get there with a racing bike, pay attention to the slopes which are in double figures even if interspersed with a few moments of breathing space

The place called Torre delle Castelle is a promontory that dominates Gattinara and the entire low plain on one side you can enjoy the view of the Sesia valley and on the other Gattinara you can enjoy an exceptional view of the vineyards and in the background the Biella area on clear days both an exceptional view of Monte Rosa

The sanctuary is a place of popular devotion. There are frequent pilgrimages from neighboring villages to the sanctuary and vice versa. From the sanctuary you can leave both by bike and on foot to discover the paths that run through the park of Monte Fenera
