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.

Since it is a military zone… We should take advantage of the opportunities to open to the public….

The cycle path develops mostly on a white road but be careful that in some sections the journey can be made difficult by the growth of the grass, especially this happens in late spring, summer or autumn, it is easy to travel during the winter. I recommend the gravel bike as the bike to use on this itinerary

The cycle path runs parallel to the canal of the same name and is mostly on dirt roads. Be careful that in some sections the growth of uncut grass can make transit difficult. Gravel recommended

The pro castle was part of the defensive complex built during the 12th century by the counts of Biandrate.
