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.

Hannibal's passage and the Second Punic War. An ancient legend tells of Hannibal who, after crossing the Apennines and defeating the Romans in the Rivergaro area, stopped in the countryside around Piacenza, where he entrusted an elephant wounded in battle to the farmers of Gossolengo. The inhabitants got used to the presence of the elephant, using it for work in the fields or as a means of transport, but no one ever came back to claim it. Eventually, the elephant became part of the local memory, and is represented in the municipal coat of arms.
